Hi, We just received an email from Volotea saying our flight time has changed (by more than 2 hours). The email states "you can request a free date change." If I change the date, will the flight price stay the same as the original price, or will I have to pay the difference? Specifically: Our flight on the 7th is 46.25 €, and the one on the 8th is 92.51 €. If we switch to the 8th, how much will we pay? When I request the date change to the 8th, it says "No additional fees." Thanks and have a great day! [:)]

Hi, If the airline cancels your flight and offers to choose another date, it's at their expense—the cancellation isn't your fault. Either way, you'll see it before confirming on the site.

Cordialement, Patrick.

Thanks for your reply, Patrick! [:)] The issue is that it’s not a flight cancellation but just a schedule change (about 3 hours)...

Yes, but you mention they’re offering a free date change, so either you accept the schedule change, take the free date change, or refuse the schedule change that’s over 2 hours and ask for a refund. In all three cases, you don’t have to pay anything.

Cordialement, Patrick.

Yeah, you're probably right... But I'm still wary when airlines offer you free stuff... usually there’s always an extra charge to pay! Thanks! !
