reconfirming flights?

I have, on several occasions. Unfortunately there were other occasions where the call would have been nice - when I didn't get it. -- Binyamin Dissen http://www.dissensoftware.com |

reconfirming flights?
I never used to bother with confirmiing flights, but now often do. It
takes only a few minutes and as everyone mentions will give you a chance to see if there are schdule changes and more important will give you a higher spot in the pecking order when there are bumps to be made. Why not do it? it will cost nothing and while it won't guarantee a seat, at least you will have moral right on your side if they try and bump you. C.

Ta for all replies, looks like it will be worthwhile giving a quick call.
Although what is the actual purpose of reconfirming. Some replies suggest that you are acalling to say that you WILL be on the flight whereas otheres are saying it is to confirm that the flight is going to be on as scheduled |

Not only should you call, you should also leave them your contact phone number so that they can contact you in the event of any problems. And what's the cost of a call? Free 1800 number + your time (2mins to 20mins depending on the time of the day). Just do it! |

reconfirming flights?
TG don't. Have flown with them several times in the last 2 years.
"Nik" wrote in message ... True - but some still keep the old practice. I think that TG still does. Nik. "Leo Hamulczyk" wrote in message ... What airlines are you travelling on? A lot of airlines don't require reconfirmation now. You can also check with the individual airlines. "Stephen Chaplin" wrote in message ...
