Too bad if you're already booked and the airline company changes the plane on you...

Genuine question. Could somebody legally demand a refund at that point the flight was different than sold as?

[–] Chruesimuesi@feddit.ch 6 points 1 year ago

My guess is most airlines have clauses in their terms and conditions that allow them to change the aircraft type without prior notice. Pretty sure their lawyers would argue that this is considered a management right for operational reasons.

But I'm no expert 🙃
