Not quite sure why arriving at the same time as the original booking causes an issue with onwards connections? I guess people may have booked when the departure was earlier in the day, but wouldn't they have been notified before? Better safe than sorry I guess...

Just be thankful they have emailed you.!

Sometimes people don't get the emails - or if they didn't book direct that their travel agents don't forward them on.

I am, I promise. :) I went over it a few times though to check it wasn't, for example, a date change....

Paul, has the departure time changed even though its arriving at the same time. We had a change of 10 mins on our departure with BA and landing at the original time, they do not tell you just when you log into MMB its highlighted in RED and you have to accept the new timings online.

At least you got an e-mail, more time in the clubhouse. Lin

When we booked our VS001 flight for 24th November the departure time was noon, this later changed to 15.20, I cant recall if I was e mailed regarding the change or got a notification when I went into my booking.

Thanks for the tip. I logged into the VS site and indeed I had to accept the changes (despite none of the messages I have received via text and email mentioning it).

As you say, another glass of fizz or perhaps a redhead....

Not as good as a 789, but preferable to the 330....

Can't disagree on that one but I have to say I don't have a problem with the suite, just the amount of them in the cabin

There seem to be lots of schedule changes next week. For my trip in March the VS23 has moved from 1220 to 1200 and 4 of my 6 DL intervals have changed too.

Remember VS will only contact you if you booked with them direct. If you booked with Expedia or another travel agent it's their responsibility to advise you of schedule changes, not the airline's.
