Holiday company change airport

Tinkerbell_14

Advice needed plse my holiday company have contacted me to say that they have changed our holiday from flying out of our local airport to another airport as they are pulling out of flying from our airport. They have offered us £20 per person for the inconvenince caused.
Is this acceptable?:mad:

Does £20 cover the cost of travel to the new airport? If not cancel.

It happened to me a couple of years ago with Thomas Cook. Should have been flying from Manchester and they changed it to Gatwick! Totally fuming but we weren't offered anyhting as they said the holiday was actually dearer from Gatwick. In the end we checked, found it was cheaper from Gatwick so cancelled and re booked from Gatwick. The savings paid the hotel bill for staying the night before.

Unfortunately not a lot you can do other than accept it or vote with your feet. (Check the price from the alternative airport first though before accepting if thats what you choose)

It appears your flight has been cancelled.
Are there flights by other airlines from your local airport that you'd prefer to go on?

You don't have to accept it, you can take a refund

Who is the company, there seem to be a lot of comments about change in the last few weeks. Usually a change of departure airport is considered a major change and you can cancel and have your money back, certainly if the company is a member of ABTA, its in their Code of Conduct
