Can they do this?

We had the same thing happen to us on our Canada trip - they had predicted the flight dates according to last year and they weren't the same. Sadly there's very little that can be done - I managed to eke out them paying for airport parking (since the one we'd booked was non-refundable) and thankfully the difference in the accomodation they had to pay for (since it was booked through them)

Grin and bear it sadly - and enjoy your trip!

I am surprised that all the posters have agreed with the airlines' actions.
You have paid a lot of money to fly with them and you have a contract with them, that they would not allow you to alter or cancel without incurring
considerable cost.

I know you are reluctant to cancel, but were you to say that if they are not
prepared to pay your out of pocket expenses which have been solely caused by their actions, then you would prefer to travel with another airline. Then
they have a choice- pay the £35 or refund 3 business class fares. Tough
decision.

A contract which almost certainly allows the airline to reschedule the flights.
