Translation party!

I need help translating an email from German to English.

I'm flying to Ethiopia in the fall, going through Frankfurt. Which seems to have made Ethiopian Air think I speak German. It's clearly got something to do with my confirmation number and flight, but it'd be nice to get a full-ish translation.

Thanks!

Best answer: The Google Translation gives a pretty good sense of what the email says:

On your journey, there was a schedule change.

Their current stay in the details, you can view and print on the website and www.virtuallythere.com.

Please enter this in the appropriate fields, just your reservation code: a EASRCT and your last name, and in the second step, your e-mail address that you told us when placing the order.
