Any airline reserves the right to swap the plane model and reassign your seat with no notice at all.
That also goes for Asian and European carriers, which usually have a much higher service level than US carriers.
Source: My own experience being assigned a seat on a Bombardier C100 (Airbus 220 now), which was swapped for an Airbus A320 with Swiss. This happened about three times and the moment you learn about it is at the gate.
- sokoloff 8y agoYes, those terms are right in the airline tariff/conditions of carriage.
- saiya-jin 8y agoExactly happened to me over this Easter - normal jet airbus swapped for some slower turboprop one (the one with long blades sticking out). Normally I wouldn't care so much, engines weren't that noisy, but the effin' plane was much much slower, meaning huge delay, missed train and forced sleepover in a place I really didn't want to spend any time. No warning or announcement whatsoever. Not even apology from crew for massive delay (Austrian airlines)
