Title: Tickets
Post by: biglillypicker on August 02, 2010, 12:00:17 PM
Hi everyone,picked our tickets up on Saturday.Bit miffed off cause Thomsons changed flight times from 7am to 8-45 am . Hols have been booked over a year and was really pleased with early flight,i know its only a couple of hours difference but that means we will get back 2 hours later than original time which will be 16-30 pm and it will mean an extra night in kennel's for our two dogs because we will be too late to pick them up,Bloody Thomsons  >:(

At least you were told.

We use Thomson for flights only and as a flight operator they are ticketless.

When we arrived at Corfu airport last friday with our email reservation we were told the flight actually leaves at 16.00 and not 15.00 as written on the email. If it had been brought forward from the original booking we would have been snookered as they didn't send us any correspondence advising of the different flight time....

Therefore we will double check what time the coach pick ups are leaving when we organise our taxi.

Our flight time out has changed from 6.20am to 8.05am. Only noticed this on our final invoice. There was no correspondence other than this. Just glad we noticed. Our return flight has also been changed from 12.45pm to 14.30pm.

It will definitely be touch and go for you Gav. Manchester is not the fastest for luggage retrieval- has taken over an hour before.

Where are you flying from Pembo?

We had the pleasure once of flying back to Manchester the day after 9/11 from Fuerte.

It took 3 hours from the plane touching down to actually collecting our bags and leaving the airport. We must have been sat on the plane for an hour before the steps arrived to get us off!

Very surreal getting on a plane the day after that happened!

Have you booked hotel yet?
If not google and try Acorn Lodge - cheap room/parking deals
Thomsons are naughty to do that!!
