Friendly PSA: Periodically check your flights. Friends we are meeting up with in Egypt received a notification that their flights from NYC to Cairo changed and they wound up having to add an additional night in NYC to accommodate the new time. This didn’t affect our flights to Cairo as we are flying there from London and meeting up with everyone.
DH happened to go take a look at our flights and discovered that our return flight changed. Our flight home is SSH-CAI-JFK on one reservation not separate tickets. Well our connection in Cairo changed to 6 hours prior to the SSH flight! Our travel party is also on the same return and none of them got a notification that the flight had changed. Their departure tickets back to NYC are on one way tickets not a RT. Some booked directly with Egypt Air and some with a partner airline and none of us received any notification.
Unfortunately, this change and the only flights available required that we either forego the farewell evening activities with ABD and leave the day before since the last SSH flight is after 9 pm and the only Cairo to JFK flight is at 3 am, or stay an extra day and leave in the evening. We opted for the latter and were able to change the fights to the following day. Still, it was quite disconcerting to have such a drastic change and no heads up from UA or Egypt air at all for any of us.
