If you’re not going to extend, you need to call and let them know the flight isn’t going, at least not going with you in the seat.
No, we still get the ACARS with the extension. I got one last week. It's pretty clear in the ACARS you can extend or decline the extension, if you are extending, you just have to ACARS back before you land. IF you're declining, then of course you have to decline it then, because you can't aren't going then.
