looks like anyone with luton flights are gone this summer. mine cancelled there for 17th july.
2 weeks today boat to scotland drive to eurotunnel, 24hrs to get there but from webcams lifts are empty at present so could good..

Man, that is a long journey. Thought we had it bad from West Yorkshire. Do you do it in one go? We wimp out and stay over night around Torres.
.
One go.. leave 4pm boat Larne get to Eurotunnel for 2am, have a kip then in France for 7.30, morzine for about 4. Coming home leave 7am for 2am at cainryan, boat at 7am. trick is to drive England in evening/night. Sometimes go home via Dublin as can sleep for 4hrs in cabin but was too expensive this time as only 2 in van.
Easyjet mailed me 15days before cancelling one flight and moved other by more than 5hrs. DHop connect you get when book easyJet worldwide for connecting flights where useless. Have put claim in for refund from easyJet but not expecting anything for months. Hopefully my holiday insurance will cover additional costs as had it done start of march so have cancellation cover.

It has changed, on the 4th of July there was a list of exempted countries published, France being one of them.

That's strange. Was pricing up a quote with them online for my partner last week. We wanted to look around so left it. They followed up with a phone call offering us a price and our dates are for this Friday.

Ended up going with Cycleplan for yearly cover and includes 90 days European overseas cover. I was already with them so got 25% off the quote price and I got £25 reward.

Have Easyjet been pretty hot on notifying people of cancellations?

This coming Saturday will be 21 days before my booked departure so I just wondered if they were letting people know of cancellations very swiftly or if I'd be waiting until a couple of days before!

I'm definitely not going but I'm hoping that they cancel so I get a refund, but if they don't I'm planning on changing it to a Bulgaria flight in Feb.
I was "notified" 18 days before departure. When I say notified, I mean i noticed on the App that the flight was cancelled. This might be because I booked through a 3rd party though.

Righto I think i'll give it to 15 days before, before I go to change flight. I will hopefully have heard by then.

The waived change fee is only valid for changing flights 14 days or more before departure. After that it's £32 each flight!!

Alarm set on my phone just so I don't forget!

Yeah they are sposed to close after 20th sep but I did see it will be 6th if WC doesn't go ahead .this isn't surprising really...I think super m is shutting 6th anyway so it's only Pleney n Les gets stuff open.

**Highly likely to open weekends only in September

That's from BikeMorzine page...I've seen it said if WC doesn't go ahead it will all close on 6th.. although Super M says 6th here...also Chatel being 20th is no help if SuperM is shut

Not sure if Mt Chery 6th makes sense if WC is going ahead..

I've also known lifts shut early for no reason n piss off ppl

So I'd guess lifts will now close 1st or 6th....would be nice if they could all keep going to 6th at least.
