Flight time changed, what about transfer?

fussyonion

Booked a holiday through LowCostHolidays.ie in February.
Booked AerLingus flights/hotel/transfer.

Received an email today from AerLingus to say the flight times have changed.
Instead of 5.55pm, the flight's now at 6:15pm.
Coming home, instead of 10:35pm, it's now 10:45pm.

Will this affect the transfer coach?
Do I need to do anything?

Nope.
Once its one pnr (passenger numerical record) which it will be as its a travel agent booking,it is their responsibility that you get home including putting you on a new flight if one connection is missed due to your incoming being late.
In short,you'll be grand.

Am I misreading this? The outbound has changed by 20 minutes and the return by 10 minutes? If this is the case then absolutely not, you don't need to do anything.

Coming through the airport, people stop to go to the loo, get slowed in queues for passport control, have to wait 2 or 20 or 40 minutes for their bags, the plane can be held on the apron waiting for a gate, etc . . . there are all sorts of potential delays.

Unless the connection is a scheduled bus that is going regardless of whether or not any particular flight is in then you will be fine. And if the bus *is* a scheduled one then the agent wouldn't/shouldn't book you on a connection where a 20 minute delay could make you miss it. They can't tell how long the passport queues will be, they can't tell if you will go to the loo, etc . . . . so they will always allow a long gap between arrival and onward transfer to allow for this.

Thanks for those helpful replies.

Z, I know the question seemed a bit strange given it's only a difference of 20 minutes but I think it's just 'cos it's never happened to me before so I was just checking that the transfer thing would still be OK.

Thanks for putting my mind at ease.

The coach company will be monitoring your flight number and be aware of any delays
