Under what circumstances are flights moved earlier by one hour or several?
Upvote:8
Airlines reschedule flights on a regular basis, moving them forward, backward, cancelling them all together. These changes are usually done several days, weeks or months in advance. But sadly MANY travelers never bother to recheck their itineraries, and thus get caught unaware by the changes. And most check in counter agents assume the traveler is paying attention, so don't point out schedule changes at check in time.
Airlines can reschedule flights on the day of travel due to a specific issue on that date (such as an incoming hurricane, severe winter storm, etc). When they make these last minute changes, they try to contact passengers via email sms or phone numbers. But if you are traveling or if you left your home number on the booking but are at work, these notifications don't get through in a timely manner.
The date the OP mentioned where there were multiple flights moved up, likely had a weather related issue at the departure airport or an upstream airport. The grumbling passenger was probably just that a grumbler, trying to get sympathy by exaggerating his situation.
