To whom it concerns,

I would be grateful with some advice about this matter.

I have a flight with Eithad Airways from Singapore – Abu Dhabi – Dublin on the 19th December 2009 EY 473 originally flying at 08.25pm.
I booked a connecting flight from Darwin Australia to Singapore arriving at 19.00pm lots of time to get Eithad flight at 08.25pm.

I rang Eithad for another reason, when they told me my the flight was changed to 19.40pm, this now means that my Jetstar flight will get in too late and I will not meet the connection. So I now have to fly a day earlier from Darwin to Singapore – taking another day off work and paying for a hotel in Singapore just because Eithad have changed flight times.
Eithad never informed of the flight change... Luckily I had rang them or else I would have just missed my flight. They said they had informed the Travel Agents who I originally booked through which have told me they got no notification.
They said they cannot put me up in a hotel or anything; basically tough luck as my Jetstar flight is not on their systems.

I don’t think this is fare on Eithads part, is this what they do to everyone when they change times???

I look forward to having your comments.

Thank you!
