We had notification just yesterday of a change to our easyjet return flight to Gatwick in October
Changed from Wed 13th to Tue 12th

Looks like they've cancelled Mon, Wed, Thu, and Fri return flights to Gatwick in Oct

Their schedule still shows outbound planes every day up to Oct 3rd

Guess those return planes in Oct will be pretty full up!

Take the booking, then say, "Sorry, had to change your flight from 12:00 Saturday to 03:00 Tuesday"?

Cynical? Me?

Heard TUI have re-scheduled for August, showing Pericles in Sami available on 29 July:  here (https://www.tui.co.uk/destinations/packages?airports%5B%5D=LGW%7CLHR%7CSTN&units%5B%5D=000864%3ADESTINATION&when=01-08-2021&flexibleDays=3&flexibility=true&noOfAdults=2&noOfChildren=0&childrenAge=&duration=7115&searchRequestType=ins&searchType=search&sp=true&multiSelect=true&room=&isVilla=false#44582e10fa56e469da255fac5c9685ce3a278c78)
