just had e-mail from Olympic our flights have changed for 3rd June surprise surprise our 7.40 Germania is now 13.50 small planet over 6 hours difference why do tour operators do this after you have paid your final balance, there is no refund or compensation all they say is read our terms and conditions we now have to alter our arrangements for travel to Manchester which may incur extra charges

Do you have any details on the Small Planet flight; as I am flying the following week? Is there a site that shows the flights by number and any changes made on a live basis? I am flying from Manchester 10/06/2016 12.35pm? I note that the same flight last year was an hour later (there and back) which was better.

Ryanair did this to me last year at Easter on a trip to Tenerife. Flights changed to about 7 hours later with only 2 weeks to go to the hliday. The worst part was that the shuttle bus company insisted on keeping to the original booking for the return trip (I was a 2 hour non stop bus journey from airport)so they picked me up at 8am and was at Tenerife south for 10am for a 7:30pm flight, which got delayed due to air traffic control strike. Left at 9:30pm. I knew every inch of that airport by the time we departed, felt robbed of a day of my holiday.

As I anticipated the flight times have changed Olympic/Small Planet (to my advantage though). 10-17 June Manchester, Outbound an hour and 15m later (more time available to get to the airport for before lunchtime). Inbound an hour and 25m later meaning more time on the Island on the last day. I shouldn't need to get to the airport for before 6pm now, so more or less a full day on the last day....yeehaa! okay I get to the accommodation for about 20.30 on the Friday evening, but still enough time to freshen up and get out for some refreshments that night, leaving 7 full days from Saturday to Friday. Can't wait!

Our Manchester flights on 8th and 22nd july have also been changed.But because I'd seen this thread earlier on today I wasn't too surprised! In their recent email they also told me that the return flight was not a direct flight.I had suspected that this was the case by working out the times of the flight, but it wasn't mentioned in my original booking confirmation & details. I think it should be made clearer when the booking is made.
