Vueling Changes DATE of flight!
 

ok, so I thought I goofed up and made a sort of big [but fixable] mistake.I had booked a flight on Vueling on Dec 7th, from BCN to MRS. I got an email about a month ago with a slight time change - 45 minutes. Ok, no biggie.

Then I was adding prepaid baggage to the flight last week and realize that flight is Dec 8th! So I do some maneuvering and change some hotel details and all's well. Still don't understand how I made that mistake, I am pretty careful. But luckily I was able to make everything work.

Well, I was just now reviewing the reservation and I look at the <u>original confirmation</u> - and it was indeed for the 7th! I check online and the reservation is the 8th! So, all is in place but bottom line is they changed the flight by an entire day! Don't know why, there are flights and seats on both days.

Just a warning for Vueling!

One time we were supposed to fly into Stanstead instead of LHR and American Airlines cancelled the route. Did they help arrange for ground transportation or rooms in London? No.

These changes happen all the time on major and smaller carriers.

How annoying. I expect you could have called and had it changed back to the original date had you noticed when you were notified. I've had airlines make such changes for free.

My experience is that while airlines often make time changes, a date change is rare.
