This policy provides guidelines and requirements for schedule changes. In Planned Schedule Changes you will receive specific guidelines on preferred airlines to be used in each case. Please note that the specific guidelines will have a limited validation. General Schedule change is a planned adjustment to flight schedules made by either FI or OA (OA = Other Airline). This policy applies only to itineraries issued on FI/108 ticket stock, including schedule changes to FI Codeshare and OA flights ticketed FI/108. In all cases, PNR s are ticketed and passenger must be holding one ticket. For all schedule changes ticketed other than FI/108, the policy of the ticketing carrier applies. Updated guidelines will be sent out as soon as new agreements will be made with other airlines. Rebooking or refund is allowed if schedule change results in: 1. Misconnections 2. Unacceptable time change 3. Cancellation, no reprotection offered Responsible Party Responsible party is the ticketing source, whether agency or FI, which will notify the customer and complete the transaction as described in Schedule Change Handling below. Schedule Change Handling The carrier with revised schedule sends Advice of Schedule Change (ASC) showing the flight changes. Reconcile the PNR by accepting changes and removing any old segments. Ensure all connections are valid in the new itinerary per published minimum connect times between all flights. If the new itinerary is acceptable, please reissue as applicable. If changes are limited solely to time changes and/or equipment changes, it is not necessary to reissue the ticket. If the new itinerary is unacceptable and necessary changes are allowed as outlined here, please follow the procedures as described in this document. If necessary, changes are beyond those outlined here, call your local FI reservations number. A single ticket reissue is permitted. The first reissue is allowed per this policy without additional collection, penalty or fee. Any further or additional changes are subject to fare recalculation and any applicable fees or penalties. Ticket Reissue Reissue as per the guidelines provided in this document NOTE: If a passenger is holding two separate tickets, the ticket affected by the Planned Schedule Change must be reissued accordingly to the Planned Schedule Change processes. The other ticket can be changed but fare difference and/or penalty fee can apply.
