Easyjet flight cancelled!!!

[sunlover]

Yet again for the second time this year Eayjet have cancelled our outgoing flight, they have said we can change our flight at no extra cost but this was the only time we could gte off at our work places!! Does anyone know if we can wait and change the flight we had to one next year when they release them? They usually release them for May the following year in Septmeber the year before, our flight was due to go out on 9th October so i think we will be in time to do it if we can. I have e mailed easyjet asking this but they take up to 10 days to reply!! And i know if someone has the answer on here i wont wait 10 days.

Oh Carole, what a shame. Has it got anything to do with the bombing do you think? People are panicking about it, I know of some who have cancelled their visit in September.

Hi Sunlover

I have sent you a PM with a contact email address

On the easyjet website there is a section which explains your rights when a flight is cancelled, but there is also a number to ring for help. It's  0330 365 5000

I would give it a try to see if you can get anywhere with them.

Good luck

If the situation in Turkey doesn't stabilise then I suspect this wont be the first flight cancellation.  Spoken to a few folks in the UK recently about what's going on, and the general consensus is that none of them would book a holiday in Turkey right now.

It doesn't matter how far away from the Syrian border you say the south west resorts are, all people think about is the dramatic images on the news and in newspapers.  All it'll take is a couple of "publicised" incidents and we'll see bookings being cancelled and the anti Turkey tabloids having a field day.

One can totally understand of being nervous of venturing to Turkey. I booked flights some time back for end of August for 3 weeks but in all honesty we are feeling uncomfortable with the situation and I wonder how I will feel as time approaches.

You do what makes you feel comfortable. 

Three girls I know have just (5mins ago) reluctantly cancelled an August bank holiday weekend in Istanbul and are now going to either Venice or Barcelona.  It was down to pressure from their respective other halfs, one of who just sent me a relieved SMS.

Not sure if the relief was that they were going to be safer in Spain/Italy, or that their credit card wasn't going to take a hammering in the bazaars and posh shops in Nisantasi.

Thats a great shame, not only the flight cancellation, we are coming out and return on easyjet, but the fact that people are staying away. I read an article in the press recently that reckoned the next target of ISIS would be the spanish costa's where they could do maximum damage. The safest place is at home in bed !!

I have no idea sadler if it has anything to do with the bombings, and it wont stop us going Turkey. Thx Madmart have got your e mail, i dont think i need to bother the CEO yet, if i dont get where i want then it might be a different story though, so thx for it.

Suspect it's not directly related to the bombing last week, but just a general downturn in folks heading to the south west of Turkey.  Unlike the charters, who often amalgamate flights if numbers are low, Easyjet and Ryanair tend to simply cancel them.
