Flight changes have happened to me, and it's been incredibly crazy since the pandemic. First, the schedule changes are solely at the pleasure of the airlines. That is a protected right and they use (abuse) it. Princess EZair and all other travel agencies must suffer through it. The only way to change this is to let your elected representatives know how frustrating it is to all of us. I have.
Second, contact the airline directly after the tickets have been issued. Courtesy goes a long, long way. I always tell myself that the person on the other end of the phone did not change the schedule. Instead, they have to deal with the fall out. More often than not, I get free changes.
