Recently, some netizens posted on social platforms that they bought a ticket from Shanghai Hongqiao to Fuzhou on August 2, and the departure time was 3:50 pm. However, I received a text message at more than 4 am on the day of departure to inform me that the original flight had been cancelled, and the adjusted new flight departed 3.5 hours earlier than the original flight! Who looks at their phone in the middle of the night? Fortunately, this netizen was "lucky", and after a hurry, he finally caught up with this flight that was 3 and a half hours ahead of schedule.
In response to this matter, the reporter called Xiamen Airlines, and the staff said that the flight was cancelled due to the reasons of the airline, and passengers will be notified at least one day in advance when the flight changes. In special emergencies, if it is caused by the airline, there will be corresponding compensation, and the specific compensation will be subject to the background operation.
Netizen comment: I have also encountered it!
Some netizens explained that this is not actually an early flight, but a temporary change of flight, called "flight protection".
According to the introduction of airline travel, in general, when the flight changes, the airline will give priority to changing the passengers on the original flight to other flights, and reserve seats for passengers on the new flight, which is flight protection.
The so-called flight protection gives priority to the flights closest to the time of the same airline, and if the airline does not have a suitable flight, it may be arranged to fly with another airline with an endorsement agreement.
