Ethiopian hat mich per E-Mail über eine Flugverschiebung informiert. So weit, so problemlos. Allerdings verstehe ich nicht alle Codes. Hier das Snippet aus dem E-Mail, das ich erhalten habe:
1 ET 729U 07OCT T GVAADD WK3 2215 0605 08OCT W HRS /E
2 ET 739U 07OCT T GVAADD WK3 2215 0605 08OCT W HRS /E old
3 ET 739U 07OCT T GVAADDSC3 2105 0455 08OCT W HRS /E new
4 ET 879U 08OCT W ADDSEZHK3 0930 1420 HRS /E
5 ET 878U 18OCT J SEZADDHK3 1720 2005 HRS /E
6 ET 728U 19OCT S ADDGVAHK3 0010 0630 HRS /E
Ich nehme mal an der Buchstabe hinter dem Datum ist die Buchungsklasse? Und weiss jemand von euch, wofür WK3, SC3 und HK3 stehen? Aus dem Bauch hätte ich auf den Flugzeugtyp getippt und habe auch per E-Mail nachgefragt, aber die Dame vom Kundendienst hat meine Frage ignoriert. Deshalb frage ich jetzt halt die ExpertInnen hier im Forum

HK3 (Holding Confirmed 3): Confirms that three seats have been booked and are currently held for this reservation.
SC3: This could be an internal airline code indicating a sub-class or a specific flight operation adjustment.
Times (e.g., 2215 0605):
Departure and arrival times in local time format (24-hour clock).
