I have following legs of flight travel I have to cover in December:

  • Delhi to Milan (MXP), Air Italy, dep. Monday 6am India time
  • Milan to Rome (FCO), Air Italy, dep. Monday 5pm Italy time
  • Rome to Athens (ATH), Ryanair, dep. Tuesday 10am Italy time

First two are under ONE TICKET. There's a similar return route while returning as well.

Air Italia sent me an email today telling that the DEL>MXP flight on Monday has been cancelled. They are offering the same flight next day but with that, I will miss Rome>ATH flight despite keeping original time margin of over 14 hours. The flight is non-refundable.

What should I do to ensure that:

  1. I don't lose money because I booked flights with an airline that is losing money
  2. I don't miss visiting beautiful ancient cities of Europe

  • You may try explaining your situation and asking them to book you to Athens.

Since your original flight was cancelled and rescheduled, you could ask the airline to refund your ticket price, and then you could find a different flight (on the same or a different airline) to Rome that allows you to meet your connection. You could also ask the airline if they would move you to a flight on the previous day, which would allow you to meet your connection and also give you an extra day in Rome.

  • I had booked the flight well in advance - and right now prices are almost 1.5 times of what I paid. Maybe I'll request them to arrange flight for previous day.
