Amending 1 flight within a package holiday

Lordturpin

Good afternoon, question as i cant find an answer.

I am on a weeks package holiday with TUI and the flights are with Easyjet.

I am wanting to now leave a few days or week earlier and spend some time with a friend.

Can i amend the Outbound flight out to leave a week earlier ? and then come back on the normal/original booking ?

Thank you

You'd need to ask TUI about amending your plans (which will entail costs).

Since Easyjet flights are one way/point to point, there should be no issue. You can either just let them know that you will make your own way there, but will use your accommodation and return flight as per usual. That way you can choose with whom you want to fly or as you suggest, amend the flight/accommodation with them.
Don't cancel anything.

If it's a 'package' and you didn't show for the initial flight, might they cancel the whole holiday and mark you as no-show?

That is why you inform them beforehand that you will be utilising the accommodation and the return flight.

Is it not down to TUI to advise EasyJet of any amendments/alterations to booked flights ?

The OP has not made reservations direct with the airline, so EJ may refer him back to TUI.

I have no experience of amending or cancelling flights except through the company that the reservations were made with - on one occasion with TUI after Covid restrictions caused travel problems. A full refund was made.

The point I'm making, rightly or wrongly, is that I assume changes to bookings should be made via the original booking agency, which in this case is TUI, not EasyJet ?

If the OP does not fly out on the original reserved flight I suspect that might compromise the package holiday conditions ?

I would be contacting TUI direct for advice and guidance first, rather than attempt a mix and match deal of DIY with prebooked package elements.

Other opinions may differ.

Hopefully the OP gets this sorted.
