…the airline, not AranGrant. We don’t operate flights ourselves—we serve as a trusted link between you and the airline. When a carrier updates your itinerary due to schedule adjustments, operational needs, or seasonal changes, we’re notified and act promptly on your behalf.

Our team monitors these updates closely and will inform you as soon as we receive a change. In many cases, the airline may suggest an alternative flight.

AranGrant is here to guide you through any changes and ensure your travel plans stay on track with minimal disruption.

• Check your flight status directly with the airline—via their website, mobile app, or airport displays.
• Visit the airline’s service desk at the airport for on-the-spot rebooking or immediate support. 
• Missed a connection? Airport staff are usually the fastest route to a solution.

Since real-time flight changes are controlled by the airline, we may not receive immediate notice. However, if you’re affected, our team is here for you. Reach out anytime via chat or phone—we’ll do everything we can to assist.

Some airlines also offer premium paid meals to guarantee your selection. Whether you prefer a dietary option or an upgraded dining experience, just let us know—we’ll handle the request on your behalf.

To access them, simply contact one of our travel advisors by phone, chat, or request a callback. They’ll check availability and match you with the best unpublished fare based on your route, dates, and cabin preferences.
