Hiya,
Booked my first DIY holiday through greatlatedeals.co.uk
(Although I am saying it was DIY - it was all booked through greatlatedeals - accomodation, flights and transfers)
20th June - 4th July Glasgow - Marmaris
My outgoing flight was leaving Glasgow at 12 o'clock midday. (Was a good flight in my opinion as it was the earlierst and I could make the most of my first night)
Just got an email stating they changed the flight to 23rd June at 10pm at night - meaning we won't arrive into our apartments until near enough 6am on our 2nd day of our holiday.
Is there anything I can do about this?
If so, does this suit you? Are you able to get the time off work?
I am sure I read on this forum somewhere, that if you booked all parts of the holiday with the same company, then it is classed as a package holiday and the same rules apply. - I am sure one of the 'experts' on this will come online and let you know if this is the case.
If the holiday does not suit anymore, I am sure you can get back any monies paid and a further amount as compensation.....
Thanks for getting back to me.
They stated that the "flights" have changed but this has resulted in a change of holiday dates.
It doesn't suit as much as I did book the holiday based on that being the only two weeks my boyfriend could get off work.
It is more of an inconvenience than anything else because I am missing 1 & 1/2 days of the holiday with these new flights as I won't arrive until the morning of my 2nd day - not ideal as you save up all year for 2 weeks away and I won't even get that.
Just to add - I would rather have better flights more like the ones I origionally had than get any money back because I got an alright deal and wouldn't be able to book anything else with the prices shooting away up.
I agree about cancelling now, as I'm sure you won't get as good a deal unless you look for something last minute and of course there are no guarantees you will get anything.
What have the travel company said about this?

My flights have changed - NOT MY ACCOMODATION OR TRANSFERS.
So I have flights for 23rd June - 7th July
And accommodation and transfers for 20th June - 4th July.
They said there will be a charge for those to be changed even though the fault is not on my part.
Anyone got any idea where I stand?
Edit - they did offer me a refund on the flights to find a suitable flight on the 20th to tie in with the accommodation and transfers but I got the flights at a cheap price so wouldn't be able to find something suitable as they have all gone up now by about £150 per seat
I would open a new thread on holiday complaints on this site and see what response you get from the holiday truthers that read that thread, they are very helpful and know a lot more than I do.....

Can't remember the ins and outs of what consistute a package, but if you access the Safe and Sound booklet by clicking on the link in my signature, I'm sure it is explained in there.
The big question (which we seem to have been asking a lot this month...) -
