I can see them now: "So, if we change OP's flight to the one we intend to put them on, according to company policy, we're liable. But if we do it incrementally, in multiple installments but changing it by less than three hours each time, we're fine!" permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever@lemmy.world 12 points 3 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent [–] KinglyWeevil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 years ago When there's no refunds in x period but no penalty to reschedule, so you reschedule and then cancel. permalink fedilink source parent [–] bl4ckblooc@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago I try everything I can to not fly Air Canada or West Jet.
