You can always complain about anything, if it will make you feel better. Probably won't do any good though.

You will find the answer to your question in the booking conditions you agreed to when you booked - they always define the rules re cancellations and amendments by either party. I am guessing you haven't read them, or you wouldn't have asked your question. They normally say the travel arrangements are provisional and subject to change, and may define minor changes (which you accept by default) and major ones (where you have a right to cancel and get a refund if you don't like it).

It is a basic fact of life that aircraft schedules change, for lots of reasons. You can almost guarantee that what is announced 11 months before will change - it is only a surprise if it doesn't. The earlier you book, the more likely there will be a subsequent change.

I am not one for reading small print. I just thought the further back you book the better guarantee for a flight on the day you want to go out. As I work in a school and my daughter goes to school I have a very small window open to travel.

I am already taking my daughter out from the last day of school and have been moaned at by the Headteacher, despite the fact they have closed the school for three days coz of the snow. Not that I'm bitter or anything.

Just disappointed that we won't get in to Orlando until 10:00. Was going to do a food shop on the first evening.

Ours was just changed - email this morning.
Outbound 20 minutes later; Inbound 90 minutes earlier.
No big deal.

Ours are 5 hours difference. Now we have to hang around for ages. I wonder if we complain to Virgin we can use their lounge for free? I am going to try it.

Am I the only person happy? My 11ish flight out hasn’t changed but flight home changed from 5pm to 10pm. Meaning we get full last day!

Not sure if you are getting hire car at airport but remember collect and drop off times.

We just got our second change from Belfast in a week - granted there’s nothing dramatic in the time changes 1/2 hour here and there, is this just a normal thing as airports/airlines finalise schedules?

Virtually every time i've logged in our seats with VS and DL have changed. Keep having to reselect seats and rebooking Magical Express etc.. Really frustrating!

TBH, I cant remember a holiday where the flights didn't change (but I book 11 months out).
