Folkes...I am travelling out with Tony (auther of said message) A million thanks for sorting the problem out.mate!! ..we are now going a day earlier but for those travelling on Sat 9th..from Heathrow (LHR) may I (we) suggest that you contact the airline through your travel company. We used Flightline in Essex who have been most helpful (with some prompting!!). There are conflicting reports as to why the flights have been changed. My good lady phoned flightline to be told they had technical problems with the plane. Tony was advised that the original company had been sold and there was then some sort of transfer of flight seats and perhaps too many for the old decoter that they use!! need a beer.now.to calm the nerves......it all sounds too familiar and there are a few grumblings from others, I note that have had the similar problems. Anyhow we as a group are now sorted and looking forward to an extra day on the slopes. For those going...perhaps we can say hello at the Happy End... We are the large group or to the untrained eye...Tony will be in his 70's shell suit skiing outfit... see you there... let us know how you get on wiuth rearranging flights...Happy all my life...Snowman
