What a stressful morning we had.
We received an Email first thing this morning from Air France to say our flight tomorrow had been cancelled.
Fortunately after numerous phone calls to Expedia and Air France we managed to get a new flight going at 9.00 tomorrow morning instead of 7.30 in the evening.
This meant we had to rearrange work schedules and book time off, arrange it with DDs school, change times with BS transports and change our car parking booking at the airport.
Of course the good side is it gives us an extra day there so we are now rethinking our plans and food options

Glad you got eveything sorted out. They didn't give you much notice. Lucky you checked your emails this morning (something I don't do every day), otherwise you would be very stuck.

Thanks everyone - We're glad it got sorted but was a bit of a nightmare at 8.15 this morning.
Luckily DH was working at home first thing so logged onto Emails as he on the PC otherwise we'd just be finding out now.
They couldnt give us a reason for the cancellation

More airline companies are cancelling flights if they are not fully booked as it is too costly to run a half filled plane
Glad you got things sorted Small World - have a lovely time :lovestruc

Glad you got it sorted - tbh I'm v surprised they just let you know by email - would have thought they would have to telephone you as well!!! :scared1: As others have said, if you hadn't checked your emails it could have been a lot worse for you!

I have a friend flying out on Sunday with Air France. She checked the Air France website, and there is a strike from Friday till Monday and 50% of flights are to be cancelled. I think anyone going with Air France should have a look at the Website for more info ( not meaning to be a worry wart!!)
