We are in the same boat, booked DIY and wanting to cancel. Yes Heathrow would be easier for us, but not willing to go indirect which is why we paid more in the first place. Also add into that we have a 14 night stay at Disney hotel where we now have no benefits of staying onsite and a massively reduced experience and the trip is no longer worth it for us. We also have the added worry of a 5 night stay at Universal to want to cancel.
At the moment Netflights wont do anything as flights still showing as going, and ATD are willing to cancel our bookings/ tickets but will loose over £500 . If Disney extend the 35% booking offer to UK rebookings, and for 3rd part bookings, looking at the cost it will be about £200 more for the same holiday. Not sure what the universal hotel costs will go up to. Then I would hope that Virgin allow us through a 3rd party to move to an open ticket. But at the moment it is a waiting game as no one can tell us anything at the moment. And to be honest, I was trying to avoid going next year, we already have a holiday booked, but doubt they will extend the re book offer beyond 12 months so looks like we will have to try to juggle it.

My November flight was moved to LHR last weekend, same times, different plane obviously, although I think the times thing is just until they establish a new time slot, I guess they have to have something to tell me but expecting it to change. It is a direct flight though which is great as that would be my deal breaker.

I did see a tweet from virgin that said the change from Lgw to Lhr is a major change so a refund can be requested

I appreciate most are aware, but just in case... VA recently announced immediate cessation of all 747 operations, VA may use their A330-300 aircraft on LHR-MCO flights. Apparently VAs 747s were flown to Man, awaiting return to lessor or possibly flown to the former RAF St Athan airfield in Wales where engineers will strip out valuable electronics et al., afore the body is stripped down for salvage.
In April Tinker Belle was the first 747 to be dismantled following it's 23 Nov 2019 retirement. Article/photos HERE

Our original VS27 for November has now been amended to VS91 from LHR with the same times however I can't see VS91 on the schedule.
Is this likely to change again as we need to amend our other hotels and car hire UK? |

I’ve looked for my flight dates August 20th - return September 4th and can’t find any direct flights from Heathrow to MCO. It says they’ve put on a new plane but it’s still indirect. Do you think (if they’re operating by then) they’ll move me from direct at Gatwick to indirect from Heathrow? Will that be classed as a major change that I’ll then be able to cancel?

Virgin have tweeted to say that only flights from 25 October are moving from LGW to LHR. Anything before then may still go from Gatwick. I suppose there is no point changing everyone until they know when they can fly anyway
