I booked flights to majorca back in december and booked them because the flight times were wat i wanted. However i was recently informed by travel republic that Thomson my flight provider had changed my flight times. Upon checking what could be done i noted that Thomson were still selling the original outbound flight that i had been told had been changed, and the flight time details were exactly what i originally booked. Ironically the only difference between the original booking and what Thomsons are selling now is the cost..........its £140 dearer per person.

Most tour operators quote 12 hours as a significant change but that could effectively lose you 1 night of your holiday or get you there so early you have to hand around until your room is ready. We book a package holiday in good faith and because the times are suitable. Do airlines just 'publish' good timings and then once they have you change them to something you would not have booked in a million years...... By that time of course you have no options.
