7 mei 2026 12u41, op de live chat van Hainan Airlines:
I am flying to Seoul from Brussels: BRU>PVG (Hainan) and then PVG>ICN (Asiana).
The first flight arrives in PVG on 30 August 2026 at 05:00.
The flight to ICN was originally scheduled to leave on 30 August at 08:35.
However, this second flight has been rescheduled to depart on 30 August on 01:05.
This means I cannot make the connection. Can you assist me with a different flight frolm BRU to PVG?

Hello! I’m Xiaohai, your AI-powered chatbot, and I’m ready to help you. I can find answers related to booking, baggage, check-in, seats and more.
Your connecting flight from PVG to ICN has been rescheduled earlier, causing a missed connection with your Hainan Airlines flight from Brussels (BRU) to PVG.
According to Hainan Airlines’ policy, if your flight was canceled or changed and you need to reschedule or check other options, you should send an email to the Irregular flight team at bzchbcl@hnair.com. Please include your e-ticket number (starting with 880-XXXXXXXXXX), booking reference code, and a phone number with country code where you can be contacted. They will assist you in finding alternative flights or solutions.
Ik stuur daarop deze mail naar dat adres:
Dear Hainan Airlines Irregular Flight Team,
I am contacting you regarding a schedule change that has made our itinerary from Brussels to Seoul impossible.
Our original itinerary was:
HU7922 — Brussels Airport (BRU) to Shanghai Pudong (PVG)
Departure: Saturday 29 August 2026 at 12:00
Arrival: Sunday 30 August 2026 at 05:00
Booking reference: xxxOZ368 — Shanghai Pudong (PVG) to Seoul Incheon (ICN)
Original departure: Sunday 30 August 2026 at 08:35
Original arrival: Sunday 30 August 2026 at 11:30
Booking reference: xxxThe PVG–ICN flight has now been rescheduled to depart on Sunday 30 August 2026 at 01:05. This is before our arrival in Shanghai at 05:00, so the connection is impossible.
There are four passengers in the booking: [namen en e-ticketnummers]
Could you please provide an alternative solution for all four passengers? Possible solutions could include rebooking us onto an earlier Hainan Airlines flight to Shanghai, rebooking us onto a later connecting flight from Shanghai to Seoul, or rerouting us to Seoul in another feasible way.
We would prefer an option that keeps our arrival in Seoul as close as possible to the original schedule.
Please confirm the available options and any action required from our side.
Kind regards,
Michel Vuijlsteke

Vandaag, op de live chat:
Wait a moment, I will transfer you to an English-speaking representative for assistance.
Een half uur later:
If your flight was canceled or changed and you need to reschedule, please send an email to our Irregular flight team: bzchbcl@hnair.com and let them know which date you would prefer, also please provide your e-ticket number 880-XXXXXXXXXX (13 numbers) or booking reference code (6 letters or letters + numbers) as well as a phone number + country code where you can be contacted, and they will check the options for you.
Mijn antwoord:
I sent a mail to bzchbcl@hnair.com on May 7th but have received no reply.
This is an urgent involuntary schedule change for 4 passengers that makes our connection physically impossible (arriving PVG at 05:00, but connecting flight OZ368 now departs at 01:05).
Please do not refer me back to the email queue. Can you please escalate this chat to a ticketing supervisor who has the authority to process an involuntary re-protection?
Booking Ref: xxx
E-tickets: [nummers]
Preferred solution: Rebook the PVG-ICN leg to Asiana Airlines OZ 362 departing at 11:40 AM on Sunday 30 August 2026.
Hun antwoord:
Flight changes have been frequent recently, leading to delayed replies. We will contact you as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience.
You case number QQQ.
Ik dring aan:
Thank you for Case Number QQQ. Because this involves an impossible connection for four passengers, can a live supervisor please confirm the exact timeline for a response? We need this escalated as the current ticket is invalid.
Kelly’s antwoord:
Flight changes have been frequent recently, leading to delayed replies. We will contact you as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Ik geef niet op:
Kelly, please wait! I am online right now. Can you please manually check if seats are available on OZ 362 for our booking? It will only take a moment and we really need this resolved today.
Helaas, slipperige poging tot blame game pindakaas:
I can’t confirm the seat of other airline. Please contact the one you bought the ticket from.
Neeneenee, ik weet wat mijn rechten zijn:
I’m sorry, but these are 880 e-tickets issued by Hainan Airlines. Under IATA regulations, Hainan is the validating carrier and is responsible for resolving this involuntary schedule change, even for interline partners like Asiana.
My booker cannot modify this because the airline’s schedule change has locked the itinerary. If your specific system cannot confirm the Asiana seat, please transfer this chat immediately to a supervisor or the Global Ticketing Desk who has the authority to process an involuntary interline re-protection.
Poging tot “jaja don’t call us we’ll call you”:
For involuntary schedule change, I’ll urge our team to contact you.
Ik blijf positief:
Thank you for that! Please make sure you have explicitly noted under Case Number QQQ that we are requesting a re-protection onto Asiana Airlines OZ 362 on August 30, as our current itinerary is physically impossible. I appreciate you pushing this to the ticketing team for an urgent update.
She blinked first!
I’ve put in the record.
Merci Kelly!
Thank you, and have a great day. I understand this is an inconventient situation for you too.
…en dan nu op naar escalatie-via-email: mijn eerste mail forwarden naar bzchbcl@hnair.com én naar customer.care@hnair.com én naar customerservice@hnair.com. Subject line is nu geworden URGENT: Case QQQ – Involuntary Schedule Change – PNR: xxx:
Hi,
I was just in touch with Kelly on the live chat. She confirmed that she has flagged this file as an involuntary schedule change under Case Number: QQQ.
Because our current itinerary is physically impossible, we are requesting a re-protection for all 4 passengers under Booking Reference xxx onto:
- Asiana Airlines OZ 362 * Date: Sunday, August 30, 2026
- Route: Shanghai Pudong (PVG) to Seoul Incheon (ICN) — Departing at 11:40 AM.
I am awaiting your confirmation and the issuance of our updated electronic ticket receipts.
Kind regards,
