Change in flight times

Why is it airlines don't tell you your flight time has changed since you booked ?

For example

Air Transat changed our flights by 4 hours coming back and no email until we logged into manage by booking

Now I have just checked my booking with TC and both my flight times have changed

Why do this and not tell us - rant - sorry.

Agree it is really annoying, I cannot see how it would trouble them to contact people and let them know. Good job you have spotted it now.

Will you need to change or adjust anything and will all your other plans work out, otherwise I would be phoning them sharpish to get them to put you on another flight if there is one.

Guess it is a lesson learned for us all, keep an eye on it. So saying, off to check mine now !

PS. Was only a very mild and polite rant. More of an observation I think

I checked the flight times before booking train tickets and now the flights have changed I might miss the train - no refund on the tickets I bought

And if the train operator changed the time of the train, would you get an email or text from then?

Blimey - how frustrating.

Is it worth keeping the tickets if there is no refund and hoping to catch it? Besides the flight times might change again !

Dont think there is an easy solution to this one other than to ride it out. Literally !

The travelling is just a necessary pain to get to Orlando - rebalance things by having an unforgettable and extra wonderful time when there.

Download the app for check my trip, they will notify you of any flight changes, times etc.

The Flight time change is odd with TC as if I put in the same dates the times still show the old time as well as other dates around it.

We are flying with United Airlines (yes, I know) and our times have changed slightly twice and to be fair they have contacted us each time.

Are you flying from Manchester? If so, they do have an ability for you to get a later train with a ticket from an earlier one - I think it has to be within 3 hours from memory, but hopefully someone will confirm.

If it's not Manchester, ignore me

I had this last month only it happened on the day we flew home from LA , BA decided to put us on a flight leaving 3 hrs early .. only no one rang / text ( they've admitted that was a mistake ) . They knew that morning our flight wasn't happening but didn't email until about 3 pm for a 6pm flight .

Purely by chance we checked our emails .
