Hi Jane,
Please don't worry. The reason you're flying to Amsterdam and then on to Milan is because there were no direct flights available on those dates, not for any other reason.
You should have received an update from us in March to explain that the original direct flight was withdrawn so we had to find alternative flights.
You do have a fellow traveller going with you from Bristol to Amsterdam. If there's any other information I can help you with ahead of the trip, please let me know.
Thanks,
Vickie
