thomas cook flight times changed twice now

difah1

:(Booked flights and hol for December through travel republic to Lanzarote. Thomas Cook have changed our flight times twice now and we are not happy with our return flight time, is there anything we can do? Emailed Ttavel Republic and they said we could change flight for £281.50 cannot afford that! Any advice?

Is the inbound flight number the same?

What is the problem with the flight times? Are you out of pocket at all?

The thing is airlines like Thomas Cook can change flight times (reasonably) to fit their needs. With your return flight your getting nearly a full day extra at the resort anyway.

how long are you going for? if it's 7 or 14 nights, the flight times dont seem to fit in. however any odd duration could be different.

Charter airlines usually use a rule of thumb in their booking conditions that they can change flight times by up to 12 hours without offering the right to cancel or compensate. From the timings shown, it doesn't look as though you fall within the rules, so you are stuck. I agree that the late return, even assuming it is on time, won't be great for onward public transport or getting up for work the next day. As you have not bought a package holiday, the only option is to book new flights with a different supplier, strangely it is now more likely that low cost carriers will stick to flight times than the charter carriers, sorry
