I don't know what we'd do if ours were to be changed to those ridiculous times. We are so committed to Villa Maria that we wouldn't stay anywhere else and we were overjoyed when they introduced flights from Bristol and even more so with it being 6:35am departure. I can only think we would stick with the booking in the hope that it's some sort of cockup which they'll correct eventually. Failing correction, I suppose we'd just go along with the times and hope the holiday would put it all out of our minds (until return date!)

Def not doing those flights Dennis.. miss over half a day of our holiday on arrival, we have booked airport hotel/parking at same price as a taxi, need to leave airport room at 10/11am ish to hang around for a teatime flight then on arriving back at Manchester in the early hours we would have to pay an extra days parking! Flipping rubbish all round. I would rather not bother, and Im not paying more than already committed to stay somewhere else, Boudouriani is our first choice as you know but booked up and we looked forward to V Maria to see you, Vera and Cariad.. ahh well Covid might put paid anyway, Im going to hang fire... 🤔

Our multiple flight was when they had plenty of planes and staff. TUI et al set the times and destinations, so it is a simple thing for them to schedule multiple flights. It's simple logistics which I practise myself - If I can get a return load from near where I'm delivering to, I grab it with both hands. Similarly, a very early departure could get me returning home in time to take on another delivery. The purchase costs of my van don't increase if I do two trips a day rather than one and the price of the van is my biggest single expense.

But we never did like those return times - never did a swim on our last day and when you have accommodation owners who stick with quitting the room by 9/10am and maybe even encourage you to rent a room for half a day, it's total ripoff and inconvenience, not to mention those times would knock me out. I can only say I strongly wish you good fortune in getting it put right.

Not great for us if they follow through and stick to those flight times from EMA. Not had anything from Tui but they arent the best communicators from reading last couple of year's facebook posts. Just have to go with it, the buses run 24/7 from EMA to a stop that's 5 min walk from my house but it's going to be another late one by looks of things. At least we booked 2 weeks this year so won't feel quite as 'pinched' arriving late at the hotel. If flight on time I'd hope to be there for 11pm local time. Time for a nightcap in Kentavros ;-) We will no doubt have a final long day at the tennis club. They have space in the back room to leave luggage and have proper showers inside and a decent menu so can eat and use the pool and then a proper wash and brush up before going to the airport.
