Looking at this board it is plain to see that many people have had their flight times changed, unless I am mistaken not one has been for a better time, there are several of us getting in the middle of the night instead of late afternoon.
Obviously many of the flight times advertised when we purchase our hols are genuine as they do not change. However if you were a tour operator with some pretty poor flight times it would be a lot easier to sell those packages if the flight times looked OK ...

However if you were a tour operator with some pretty poor flight times it would be a lot easier to sell those packages if the flight times looked OK in the brochure. Suddenly a few days / weeks before we go they change, for the worse, within the amount 'allowed' in their terms and conditions, with no recourse, no proper explanation or, in most cases with no apology.
Maybe its not the operators themselves, maybe its the airlines or someone else - but it is a little smelly me thinks.
Anyway I am off to Borovets TODAY, but not actually getting there until tomorrow
, I just wonder if I was always flying at this time and the early afternoon flight times were somewhat fictious. Of course I could be too cynical.
Bill, still going to have a great time

we're flying at 11.55am which isn't a bad time, its been brought forward from 2.30pm. so i guess we can't complain......re: Am I too cynical?
I stand corrected Woodsy, to be fair those of us who have them changed for the worse are more likely to launch off on a rant. Still a bit cynical though.Cheers, Bill

We fly out tomoz too. our outgoing flight was late anyway, but our return flight has been pushed back. which could mean an extra half day skiing? so could b good, otherwise we'll b hanging around 4 a day!re: Am I too cynical?

Our flight from Belfast is at 10.45 an i fly out in 2 weeks so i hope it hasn't changed. But many of the others on the site have had there times changed. Just one of those things being an under-powered consumer!!!!re: Am I too cynical?
I am meant to fly 1:50 next Saturday from Manchester. I hope this is still the same. Has anyone on that flight been notified it has changed ?Cheers

re: Am I too cynical?
we fly from Gatwick at 15:15 on the 15th, get to sophia at 20:15 i guess thats not too bad, at least we get to the hotel b4 the bar shuts.......... I havn't checked it the flight time has changed or not but will do very soon.re: Am I too cynical?
I agree with bill, but its not just flights to Bulgaria.My wife and I went to Jamacia last year. The airline changed a direct 9hr flight into a 13hr flight in which we had to land at a different airport and change planes.
I kicked up a fuss as we had paid for a better service that what was given. I was told "check the terms and conditions" Basically the airlines can do what they want. Hoping for better luck flying to Borovets in Feb

Hey Ratty, see you at the airport, we are on that flight, no time change as of yet.Noodles
