Senegal - that's off to a good start...

Turkish Airlines announces a change to the flight schedule 8 weeks before departure. Brief panic, then the all-clear: we take off 5 minutes later. Ugh...

3 weeks before departure I stumbled upon the note in my TUI travel documents that our return flight was no longer on October 29th. can take place.

What??? Why doesn't anyone tell me this??? Call to TUI and the unpleasant certainty that Turkish Airlines has simply canceled the return flight WITHOUT REPLACEMENT and removed it from the flight schedule.

Gasp!!! Are you crazy???

For the first time I'm really happy that I booked a package holiday!!! Now TUI has to deal with the old airline. TUI books us on the night flight in advance. Great... So we lose half a day and a night in the 5***** hotel, for which we are still charged.

Another call to TUI. Last night is canceled, we will receive a refund. At least something.

Hopefully that's it for the unpleasant news.

Vacation mode on, it's starting soon!
