They're taking us for mugs aren't they !!! Seems a very professional way to run an airline !
PS. one such flight from Bournemouth to CDG last year was changed 3 times in approx 6 weeks. I can't believe that was all down to slots.
It gets even better than that - ThomsonFly at LBA bang the drum for nearly 12 months regarding new routes in europe and winter flights to the Canaries, then somewhere nearer the time (maybe if DSA is low on bookings) they have pulled the plug on the LBA flights and bumped the pax to DSA - never the other way round !
The whole operation stinks in my opinion.
