double check those departure times!!!!

I have been on the wife to just take a look. Well, she finally did and we need to be gone at 4:30, not 7::00am! No use in sleeping now. :)

just checked in on line for my trip to Prague next month and found out my return flight times had changed, not significantly but enough that I will have an earlier start than I thought I would.
Enjoy your trip Jason-Erik

Oh YES! If you book your airline tickets 9 months or more out, be sure to check for any changes monthly. Then check about every two weeks when you are 2-3 months from your travel date. Then daily the week or two prior.

As I (and several family members/friends) have said to airlines many times, ".....and when exactly did you plan to tell me?"

And, if the airline tells you that a subsequent change dictates you must stay an extra night at one of your connections or that you must leave a day later, etc., get on line and check for yourself. Sometimes you are told something that is just not correct. Doing that with my last trip helped me to be able to negotiate not having to spend an extra night in the middle of what would have been my original series of connections for my original return flight, and I was also able to negotiate two complimentary upgrades to Business/First Class for the 'going' portion of flights along with a voucher for $XXX toward our next trip with the airlines. Never hurts to ask, once one has done his/her homework on line.

Now, I should add to the above that in that particular situation it was the THIRD change the airline made to my reservation since I had booked it about 9 months prior.

Nice to have two pairs of eyes on the issue. For my recent flight to L.A., I did not set my alarm early enough, but luckily, some other force woke me up at the right time.

Also a good idea to check and recheck flight status approaching lift off.

Several years ago we were scheduled to depart Prague PRG on a KLM code share operated by Czech Airlines departing late morning. When I checked the departure status the day before the scheduled flight, the late morning flight did not show up on the Czech Airlines status. That is when I learned that the Delta/KLM call centers in Europe do not operate during the weekend.

I ended up call the local Czech Airlines at the PRG airport to find that there was no late morning departure and was able to the the early morning flight out.

I recently got an e-mail from AF/Delta alerting me to a minor change in our flight times. Glad for their good service in that respect.
