Had a phone call from travel agent telling me our flight from Manchester to flaine on Saturday 17th march has been cancelled. She said the only other flight available was from gatwick and with that said if you can't make it we can have our money back!!!!!! I am amazed that they can get away with shoddy treatment if I had tried to cancel with two weeks notice I don't think I would have got far.

So why can they not offer you an alternative holiday?

Crystal are advertising holidays to Flaine on that date from Manchester. Get your money back and book elsewhere.

This late cancellation should entitle you to Compensation, check the small print closely.

Snapzzz has the right idea, you might even save some money. Don't delay!

Exactly, this could actually work in your favour. Get your £££ back and get searching for a last min that will fly from the North (Manc, Leeds, West Mid, Birm)

I'd recommend using Skyscanner.net as a quick way to see most of the available flights. It's not 100% spot on all the time but the quickest way to get flight info I've found.

Unbelievable...who were you supposed to be flying with? Was it a package you booked or separate elements? Defo seek compensation I would say!!

Ditto the comment on Skyscanner, love this sire and use it a lot for getting ideas on costs for any flight only bookings we're looking at.
Up there for thinking, down there for skiing...
