TB our first visit to Fedra Mare on Monday and already have next year booked with them so hope we like it. Just the two of us so staying in one of the ground floor studios.

You'll love it there. IMO it's the best place in the village.

Independent isn’t convenient for everyone and that’s fine of course.

Looking at it purely financially, we are over in a couple of weeks for 20 nights and are paying €70/night for a family room direct to the owners. If I were to book with TUI, which I could, the owners would see €12/night of that money. Bit of a difference in their pockets.

That's a stark difference.

We been travelling with TUI or Jet2 to Corfu for 12 years. Both have been excellent. I don't really buy the "DIY and the local economy" argument; don't the owners who have contracted to TUI or Jet2 have any income?

We always go to Fedra and they don't have any other source of income.

Very little notice. Some people are only finding out 2-3 days before and only then finding out because they are checking, not being contacted by TUI to tell them.

There’s a few instances of people only finding out when going to the airport to board their flight, which is obviously unforgivable.

Cheers D@G. We've been looking forward to our Sept holiday since we booked it back in April in the expectation that we would be nearly back to normal and even though TUI will reimburse us within 2 weeks its still leaves a nasty taste in the mouth if its at that short notice.

When going to San Stef we always go independant but are loathe to do so when going somewhere new but if TUI are going to treat people like this we'll have to reconsider.

I don't do social media but is there anything on there about how much notice people are getting about their cancellation?

Thank you BAJ..just seen another TUI cancellation..dreadful..will have to look more deep!y into independent booking..

From Bristol today TUI have cancelled flights to Tenerife, Corfu, Zante and Rhodes but have departed for Mahon, Ibiza and Palma. Anybody have any idea what the rationale is?

It looks like it TB, from looking at pre-booked seats on both East Mids and the Birmigham flights they are both about a third full, so just flying one aircraft 2/3rds full. Better than cancelling but a bit of a pain. Flight leaves EMA at 0710 hrs and then Birmingham at 0830.

That doesn't sound too bad then BAJ.

Notified today that our Jet2 flight from East Midlands on Monday morning will now take 4 1/2 hrs as it is taking a tour of the Midlands first and going to Birmingham after we board. So an earlier departure from EMA and arrive 1/2 hour later in Corfu.

Is that a "filling the plane up" thing?
