Seat assignments are subject to change by the airline(s), particularly in cases of schedule or equipment adjustments post-booking, which may lead to alterations or cancelations of seat assignments.

These options can differ from the departure and return dates shown on the travel service invoice or summary section, which are for policy purposes. These flexible options include labels such as "Early departure," "Late arrival," "Next day," or "Overnight." Once a flexible flight option is selected, the customer will need to follow the departure, arrival, and return dates and times of the chosen ticket.The specifics are outlined below:

4. Airlines can make schedule changes or cancelations before departure, so travelers must confirm their flight within 72 hours before departure.
5. The airlines determine the conditions for the implementation of air transport. They are solely responsible for changes in schedules or routes, stops, changes, airport delays, and flight cancelations. In most cases, all these circumstances respond to the overbooking of airspace, the need to respect the rules of air navigation, and the period of aircraft maintenance at airports, all with the sole purpose of ensuring the safety of travelers.
