If it is any consolation, remember you would have been up all night on your original flight times. Take off at 7.30 means check in by 5.30 and I believe it is about 2 hours from Icmeler to Dalaman, so that means you would have left your hotel at say 3am! Ugh! At least now you may get 4 hours sleep on the plane.

sorry I have got it wrong we should have been leaving DLM at 15:15 and landing in Mcr at 17:50. I have put down our outbound flights from Mcr instead of the inbound from DLM.

Sorry.

Paid £117 (for 2 adults 1 child)


Firstly that is a bargin price but I presume it is a typo.

Most travel companies T&C's state flights can change time and less than 12hours no compensation is due (But you can normally cancel and have a refund) so you don't have much chance I am afraid, flights times are normally only finalised a couple of months before the start of the season once the contracts are confirmed between airports, carrier and air space authorities, unfortunately if you book the previous year the more likely this will happen but you normally get the cheaper prices.

I would firstly advise checking that the original flights are no longer for sale (Via the internet or a new travel company), it has been known for companies to move bookings to other flights to make way resell the more popular flights at a higher price, if you discover this has happened inform the travel company that you believe this has happened and you will be taking it further.

I wish you luck

HI the suppliments for day flights were £117 for 3 of us. Wish it was the total price!!

Yes I have looked and the flight were were on originally have been totally scrapped. So looks like I will just have to grin and bear it.

I will write a letter but no holding much hope. It means more time in resort without a room and flying home a night. But paid for this! Sucks :duh

I think it is rather unfair that you have paid extra for a day flight but when they changed it to a night flight they refused to give you some money back. Keep on at them, I hope you get a refund.

Hi All,

Just to let you know, I have been flying with T/C for the last 4 years over to Dalaman leaving gatwick at 07.30, however last year since their merger, I booked hols for 2008 in 2007 for the same departure time, only to have them changed twice and finally leaving at 11.45am - i know its not a big difference but when you book all the extras ie car park etc it becomes a mess having to re sort thing out,
I booked this yrs 2009 hols in july 2008 for 07.00 depature - same flight number etc as the last 4 yrs - knowing in my mind that it would be changed to 11.45am - and it was within 3 weeks of booking it !! why cant they tell you this when booking !!

now looking at my booking on t/c website as i was arranging car park and transfers in dalaman I noticed my flights have changed yet again - to 10.50am !! I know its earlier but why ?

last year I found a lot of t/c flight were late due to shortage of crew and sickkies,

just posting this to let others know - yes thery are great to fly with but be carefull on your flight times as they do change them

good luck to you all and HAPPY HOLIDAYS

As has been said, the flight times won't be confirmed until much nearer the time. This occurs with all airlines - I had a GB Airways (British Airways) flight to Malaga where the departure time changed 6 times, before eventually ending up pretty much where it started. easyJet also changed a Pisa flight from the pleasant departure time of around midday, to 5:55am.

There are likely to be more flights from the UK to Turkey next year, so there should be plenty of flexibility. If you want to lesser the risk of having your flight changed, it's probably better to book later (March/April onwards).
