This morning, with our “standby” situation fresh in mind, I decided to look up our upcoming Dublin flight, to select seats. Lufthansa had posted an alert: one of my flight segments had been changed.
I scrolled down to see which one.
Our return flight, which was operated by Swiss Air for the first leg, had been altered. Swiss Air had pushed back their flight. We would miss our connection on Lufthansa in Geneva. They now had us scheduled for a 23 hour and 30 minute layover.
A full-day layover.
Geneva is 6 hours away.
I called Lufthansa. Although the reservation was made directly through Lufthansa, I was told to contact Swiss Air because it was Swiss Air who changed their flight. The Lufthansa agent assured me that Swiss Air would make the changes to accommodate us for free.
I called Swiss Air. They canceled the whole trip and booked us direct from Dublin to Frankfurt.
On Lufthansa.
