| May 21, 2015 at 2:26 | comment | added | Russell McMahon | What is the first airline? This sounds very unprofessional - and almost like a scam. FWIW- for internal Chinese flight bookings I use ticket.9588 - I don't know who told me about them - but I have had no problems and you can see progressive pricing on a given route and day and I've had some very low cost flights. And no, I have no business relationship with them apart from being a happy customer. | |

| May 20, 2015 at 21:49 | comment | added | Michael Hampton | @choster Yeah, he's probably due nothing but a refund. It's still a dick move by the airline. It's like booking a flight to Washington DC and then being told it's actually going to Boston. At least they didn't do this after takeoff! But another problem here is he booked separate tickets. Maybe he can change the other one. | |
| May 20, 2015 at 21:33 | comment | added | choster | @MichaelHampton By "alternative" I mean "some other airport," not "another airport serving the same city." The point is that the rights and obligations of both the passenger and the airline are spelled out in the contract. | |
| May 20, 2015 at 20:25 | comment | added | Michael Hampton | This is hardly an alternative airport; they're almost 1000 km apart! | |
| May 20, 2015 at 20:03 | comment | added | choster | When you purchased the ticket, you agreed to the airline's Conditions of Carriage (or Contract of Carriage), which lays out exactly what they owe you in the event a flight or route is canceled. Offering a refund or rescheduling to an alternative airport are very commonly the only options given. But while they may not legally be required to do more, as a customer service gesture they can sometimes be nudged. | |

| May 20, 2015 at 19:26 | comment | added | user3771794 | its a rip off, i have to spend twice the money, there must be some kind of contract between the buyer and the company. They cant just change my city and then charge me twice as much for a new flight | |
