Late Flights Are Now "Retimed"

Your flight with Singapore Airlines has not been delayed. It's not late and you are not early. The flight has simply been "retimed". The language is important because you should have a positive outlook. As the sage advised, "always look on the bright side of life."

John Ollila of the travel website Loyalty Lobby shares this email from Singapore Airlines for his flight out of Bali. The new wording should make the experience less difficult, right?

So, yes, Ollila's flight has been retimed. But at least it has not experienced an unscheduled terrain contact. That could really disrupt his plans for after deplaning.
