I imagine it's possible, but if the replacement craft does not have identical seating configuration, there can be headaches around that, especially with airlines moving to doing things like charging premium prices for certain coach seats etc.
I've never had the plane model changed in my flying experience.
- GekkePrutser 6y agoI have had several times. I was even switched to another airline once, they had an issue with their own plane and grabbed a charter :) I believe bigger airline alliances actually have a pool for such mishaps, spare planes with just the alliance branding on them, I've seen them at airports though not sure how the ownership worked.
- kiwijamo 6y agoThese aircraft are always owned by a specific airline and not the alliance itself. Just look closer, you'll see the airline's branding somewhere on the aircraft. The alliance branding is just meant to promote the alliance. These aircraft are part of their respective airline's fleet and operated as normal flights by the airline that owns it (just like other normally branded aircrafts).
