I spoke too soon when I said I was getting flight on 31 December.
Cancelled and 27 dec and 3 jan offered.
-
Is that to Gatwick or Manchester?
-
Was looking forward to an early morning flight on the 27th Dec after constant evening flights from Glasgow during summer breaks -even booked an overnight hotel in Manchester airport for the 26th Dec. Been advised today flight now changed to 7pm great I don't think. Don't know if it is worth it now as can't be bothered driving during the day,from Ayrshire to Manchester, and not getting to our apartment until about 3am in the middle of winter.:(
-
We also recievd an e mail today saying our flights had been changed flying from Manchester on the 27th .
The original e mail had us flying out from Dalaman on the 27th Dec and flying back from Man on the 17th work that one out :o.
Not very happy but not alot you can do only cancel.:(

Hi,
Just recieved a phonecall,our flight going out of manchester on the 20 Dec returning on 2nd Jan as been changed to the 17 dec returning on 3 Jan which means 4days of work for us both with no pay ,not worth it.
Agean as had our money since march. sick as a chip lol:(
-
Par for the course with them I'm afraid. They sell non existent flights and then 'consolidate' them into one or two at different times/dates. Should be reported and stopped in my opinion. Also any others that do the same.
-
My flight to Manchester on the 31st December has been cancelled and changed to 27th December! Aegean flight!
-
bc they have cancelled the flight on the 27th i had a email today can you let me know if yours has been cancelled also they want me to move to the 24th which i can't do
-
maryanne our flight was moved to 1700hrs and now they want us to go on the 24th
i am now wandering if they are pulling a fast one and there is a flight going on the 27th but are overbooked and trying to move passengers to other days
-
HI Puma
I will look at Duncan's e mail in case they have issued more information. If it is the case that they move to the 24th they can stuff it as far as I am concerned, I will be looking for my money back. I have booked two holidays for next year with them, it will be the last. I will take my chances with the others.. never thought I would say that but it all seems par for the course with Aegean now, has been fine for a number of years , unfortunately all the recent bad reports seem to be sad but true.
-
thanks mary anne will keep in touch not letting them get away with their way if dealing with passengers
NC have you got anymore info?

Strategy seems to be that passengers moved a few days are likely to accept change. Move passengers by a week then likely to lose the business because they will not accept changes.
I am lucky that I am flexible about dates although I have lost some money spent on other travel arrangements.
-
Hi to all,we agreed to go on the 17th dec returning the 3rd of jan,it means working the next 2 weekends but what the hell,so sorry for people
who can't be flexiable:( :)

Received phone call today from Aegean flights confirming that the 27th Dec flight will now be going on the 24th returning on the 3rd Jan instead of the 8th. What a swiz. If we had wanted to go away for christmas day we would have booked accordingly.They insist we were sent an email advising of changes - it has yet to arrive!
Well we are totally unable to go on Xmas eve so our festive holiday aint going to happen.Will seriously be considering our options with this company in the future. We have asked for our money back and of course they will now sell the seats for much more than we paid. Have now to cancel car hire, hotel in Manchester and a planned night out in Ovacik with our friends on New Years eve.:(:(

Aegean were offering flight schedules up to 18 months ahead, so they sit on your money in THEIR account, 8.5 - 10% interest for over a year, change your flight timings by up to a week safe in the knowledge that someone else will take up your booking at a higher price, and it goes on and on and on. People need to drop Aegean and Onur, the track history speaks for itself. I know this might mean paying a higher price for the flight, but who needs all this hassle a few weeks before departure? The holiday plans are in ruin for a lot of people.

Well said that man. Cheap is not always best but in winter there are not that many options. They need a wake up call and people to stop booking with them. We've flew with them for the first time this year (by mistake) and will not be flying Onur again.
-
We have booked for next year May and Sept and as you say they have had our money for quite some time. It will be interesting to see what happens nearer the time. Aegean insist that it is only their winter programme that has been affected.(they would say that, wouldn't they?) Anyway, I would be surprised if we take the risk again in future,even from Glasgow this year there were many delays with them. Sorry for ranting but sooooo mad.
-
I have flown with Onur Air booked via Aegean 3 times a year for the last 3 years and have only had one minor glitch when they wanted us to change an October outward Monday flight to the Sunday. I couldn't swap so they delayed it by a week for me at no cost (which by pure accident actually did me a favour). I do not mind them banking my money a year in advance as with the poxy interest rates here I am gaining a lot more than I am losing. From my point of view keep up the good work :D
-
I am happy for you but all these people have had their seasonal plans ruined. I know people that are having to change to Antalya with their children. Maybe you will change your mind if it happens to you.Lets hope it doesnt. Mary I will cancel your booking for New Year's Eve. I know how much you were both looking froward to it and so were we.[:(!]:-\
-
My Brother-in-law flew into Dalaman in the early hours of this morning with Onur Air from Gatwick,one week earlier than he planned as his flight on the 8th was cancelled by Onur,yet there were only 18 people on his flight this morning.
-
My daughter has had her flight changed,it was originaly flying out 7am 24th December from Manchester going back 7th January.Last week she got an email saying her outward bound flight had been changed to 7pm then yesterday she got a telephone call to say the return flight from Dalaman on the 7th had been cancelled and changed to the 3rd January.Thats a loss of five days.

Yeah you're right Stuart and if I do get caught out I'll sing a different tune but so far so good so I'm not knocking it 8)
p.s. There's a lady on here whose well grateful to Onur Air after being shafted by Pegasus[:(!]

Aeegean are still advertising the 27th Dec for £167 one way - no mention of it being cancelled. We paid £140 return now costs in excess of £300. Question to be asked is there a flight on the 27th or not???

Yes we are getting a bit worried now. Our flight is due to leave Manchester on the 27th Dec @ 19.00 hrs getting into Dalaman @ 01.15am on 28th Dec (supposedly :o)
We have had a modified invoice from Aegean telling us of the time changes BUT....... now we are not sure - are we or arn't we that is the question!!!!

Aegean terms
7. If We Cancel Your Flight: We reserve the right in any circumstances to cancel your flights. However, in no case will we cancel your flight less than 2 months before the scheduled departure date unless it is for reasons outlined in the Important Note above or for late or non-payment by you.
Some reassurance?

Hi Amca
I really am angry at all inaccurate advice coming from Aegean. We have had to cancel a very much looked forward to holiday in our apartment with our neighbours and friends to celebrate the new year. We got a call from them to say our flight was now on the 24th - no use at all as I have got to be in the UK until at least boxing day. Have arranged holidays at work to return on the 8thJanuary. - told our flight will come back on the 3rd Jan instead. The girl on the phone had said all she has done all day is apologise to people. So don't hold your breath if I were you I would contact them as soon as.
-
Just received an email today from Aegean changing our arrival airport to Bodrum instead of Dalaman on 27th Dec from Gatwick, nothing on the email to say about changes to return flight but I am sure that is to come! Means a 3-3.5 hr coach journey, csn not believe the same thing happened on our Christams flights last year!
-
Hi,
Like said before we have now agreed to go on the 17th of Dec instead
of the 20th,our return flight including 1 hold bag each was £320,the price his now £346 each not including any hold baggage,It all seems strange,I am wonder if they would like people to cancel who book when they were cheap,hoping they will sell them on at top price.just a thought.: :)
-
We received an e mail today, telling us that the Gatwick to Dalaman flight on December 27th was cancelled.... and it was either Bodrum, or a refund.
We chose the refund and we have now booked with TC from Manchester flying on the same days... slightly more expensive for us, but we gain 14 more hours in Turkey.... we were lucky !!!
-
Hi we are the same, flight on the 17th dec from Gatwick to Dalaman now canx now transfered to Bodrum same date dep Gatwick at 20.00 arrive Bodrum 1.45am upto today they do not know what time the coach tranfer will be at Bodrum to Dalaman last year it met the flight, which was late leaving Gatwick by 5 hours due to snow so took us 20 hours door to door hopefully this year it will not be bad weather.
Return flight on the 2nd Jan all ok depart Dalaman at 16.00 arrive at Gatwick at 18.15
Don't forget to get your £10 compensation which you are entiled to they will send this back to you in cheque form.
Ageanflights will be phoning me next week to advise the tranfer time at Bodrum/Dalaman will post details when known.
So who else is traveling on this flight that are CB members?????
-
I think i had better give them a call ...
-
Hi Gunna we are on the same return flight as you on 2nd January, my original booking was for flights to leave at 18.45 departing from Dalaman, now it is for same as you 16.00 hrs, did not receive an email or call to say return flight time had changed until today when I emailed Aegean, but hey ho I can live with losing a few hours on return so long as they dont change the airport to Bodrum for return as well, just cant believe the same thing happened last year for our Xmas flights with Goldtrail!
-
hi all had a phone call today. the flight to manchester on the 27th is still flying but at 1900hrs and returning on the 3rd jan 15.30 from dalaman we were to fly back on the 7th so have lost out.
i got the impression the staff don't know what's going on,i had to hold twice while they checked out my queries

Yes - I am on these flights too. received my e-mail yesterday - was surprised because I called them last Friday just to confirm that the flights were going as planned and they told me that there were no changes and that it was only the Manchester flights that were affected. Fortunately it is no problem for me to get an extra day's leave from work and at least it's a couple of extra days holiday but for some people it could be very difficult. Just concerned about the coach transfer from Bodrum - don't want to be left standing there!
-
just got my invoice stating that there is a £70 coach transfer from BJV/DLM but also a £45 discount so I am paying a transfer of £25 when I
was emailed to say it was a free transfer to accept the amended flight, but the price still comes out to what I paid for the original gatwick/dalaman flight return, so it looks like that they always intended to fly into Bodrum in the first place.........very misleading!!
So I intend to take the matter further with trading standards as I think that this is a clear case of misleading there customers, does anyone else have this problem????? if so please let me know the more who complain the better.
-
Flight from Gatwick to Dalaman on 07/01/2011 now changed,flying into Bodrum,offered free transfer to Dalaman or full refund,probably less the visa booking fee so it still costs!!anyone else on this flight?
-
No wonder they changed the destination air port if we were the only ones on it.
Anyone booked to fly into Bodrum, or can we expect the whole flight to be cancelled?
-
Probably better off asking on a Bodrum forum George.
