Its a nightmare has taken the whole holiday feeling away i have not had a panic attack in a few years and now i have took 3 from finding out,it sounds stupid over flights but i had been preparing for this for over a year now and hard to get my head around it. We flew with delta the last time into Atlanta and we just had to make our way to the next flight our bags went on through but we had just over 1hr and we found it tight. Hope you get sorted

This is not the original route booked. Initially it was MIA to DTR to LHR - we had a 3 hr layover - perfect as we could get some dinner before the final leg home. It was then changed to a midday flight from MIA with a 7 hr layover in DTR! They did then change it via a different route (ATL) with a 2,5 hr layover which has again (yesterday) been reduced to 55 minutes! We have to get home on the correct day to pick up DS’s A Level results.

I agree with you, it’s hard when you book something for it to then change quite some time later ... they have changed it 55 mins - this is the second time we have used a third party rather than booking direct ourselves - I’m not sure if I would do that again at the moment - will wait and see what happens on Monday.

No i didn't get any explanation as i was trying to take it all in,my mind was in overdrive of the change i know im stupid for not putting a fight up or questioning it my own stupidity, when i booked and paid the deposit i received my invoice with the flight information and hotel also the park tickets was on the invoice i also received the atol certificate as well. I booked the lounge and airport parking separately myself and have received a full refund for the lounge from Dublin airport with no charge i was quite impressed with that outcome,the man i spoke to from the holiday company told me was i happy to go ahead that no changes can be made after, I stupidity said yes so i guess its my own fault.What really gets me is he hasn't replied to my emails from then and answer questions in regards to the changes so i guess i will have to phone tomorrow and get my questions answered

What Travel company have you booked through?
I think that you need to get a bit more firm with them and tell them that that is not the route that you had contracted with them for and demand that they put you back on the original flights as originally agreed. We are flying this year from Belfast via Manchester with Virgin but that was our choice due to price. We have in the past gone Dublin via JFK and also via Newark and both of those allowed pre-clearance in Dublin. Get back on to the Travel Company or if you do not feel confident get someone with some authority to contact them on your behalf. |

And I always fly indirect so I have control who I book with and have direct contact with the airline.
This has nothing to do with direct/indirect flights, This whole shambles is the fault of the travel agent, who sold one products and provided anotger.

I always do the same - and agree that this whole mess is the fault of the travel company. Obviously they did not actually book the airline tickets when you paid the deposit but didn't tell you tat little gem.
Get back on to them and see if they can re-route you straight out of Dublin. Mind you, we are booked with Delta for 6th Sept and when we booked, about three months ago, reservation staff said that the flights out of Dublin were very heavily booked and ticketed. Fingers crossed that you can sort this so at least avoid travelling to UK at all.

Insist on the route you have paid for. Simples. Sounds like now they have gone to pay for your flights, they have come out more expensive now so put you on a cheaper flight lining their pockets better. A couple of hours earlier/later is one thing and can happen with any airline, but to completely change your airports and flight route is another!
You wouldn’t book a holiday to Orlando staying at the RPR and except a motel down in Miami instead.
