Fantastic . That was maybe 2 months ago and we have received 4 changes to her itinerary, while they have been accommodating rescheduling all flights so she doesn't have to sleep on the floor, you have to wonder . Lucky we have not purchased domestic flights yet (within NZ) and she didn't need hotel bookings .	Nomad (952)

Though any airline, not just JQ can make operational changes, I have been hit with several changes on Qantas in the last month but they give me a hotel or move me onto a different airline keep me on my timeline. Other airlines I use have also made changes so it is not just restricted to the budget carriers.	PinoyKiw (9675)

I wouldn't fly with this crowd after they wouldn't fly here a couple of months ago when there was a minor volcanic disturbance in South America . .	paulw (1826)

I wouldn't fly with this crowd after they wouldn't fly here a couple of months ago when there was a minor volcanic disturbance in South America . . They don't call you . They just send you an email to click this button to confirm or it ask you to ring them . If after a while you don't do anything that button expires and they just assume you are ok with it . She has an email, but she's not IT literate so I do the checking etc . JQ goes to HKG via SG, we bought 2 separate JQ flights . But they don't look at her other JQ flights . So the first time, she gets to SG a day later, misses her connecting flight . Then there some minor changes of an hour or two . The last change, on the return leg, when she gets to SG from HK, her flight to AKL is delayed by a day so instead of waiting 4hr as planned it's 4hr + 24hr . But we doubt this will be the last . These were in the last 2 months but still 2 month to go .	Nomad (952)

1228119	2011-09-02 00:47:00	The first change reduced her holiday by a day, she could accept that . Then the last change, made made it back to the original (assuming that's what happened) . I think there are daily SG-HK flights . The aircraft and flying is about the same me thinks . But customer service and planning IME are better with the larger airlines . As with the hotel thing, I doubt JQ will accomodate . Larger airlines may however .	Nomad (952)
