Flight Times Changes

Hi going on holiday in 16 weeks got a letter in from Thomas Cook to change the flight time for the 2nd time today. we have been changed from morning flight to after noon(1st cvhange) and now have been changed to departing at 22.50 arriving at 04.30 and coming home at 05.35. my son will have jus turned 3 when we go and the thought of coming home at 05.35 worried me esp as we have to vacate rooms at 12noon the day before.is there anything we can do about this. i'm going to phone them just wanted any advise first not too good on calls.thanskjpiven

    if the change is more than 12 hrs you can either cancel for no cost or see if they have alternative flights or change your holiday.
    you could recieve some 'in resort activity vouchers'- ( money of trips once abroad) usually £50/person

    if you post some details is is probable that some one could beat your deal anyay

    This happened to me on a Portland Direct holiday. I was travelling with a baby and a toddler. We had lovely day flights then they changed them both to night flights at short notice.

    I insisted that they had to arrange for me to keep the room on until we were picked up at the airport, and they agreed to do that.

    It meant our last day wasn't spoiled by having to be out of the room by noon. I was able to shower the children as normal early evening, then put them down for a sleep while I packed the cases.
    Here I go again on my own....
