Hi 

   l was looking forward to the Treasures of Andalucia trip next year. Why have you changed from Gatwick to London City airport? I am gutted l only go from Gatwick as l feel comfortable there.

Good Afternoon Essa,

I’m sorry to hear about the disappointment. We try to offer as many airports as possible, hence the decision to move to London City for this tour. I have personally flown from London City in the past and found the airport to be small and intimate, which means less possible queuing and more time to relax and enjoy the beginning of an holiday.

Kind Regards,

Mildred.

Hi Julia /Mildred,

I have booked Costa de la Luz for 2nd October 2018 ( well in the distant future I know!!! ) which currently shows all 2017 and 2018 trips departing from Gatwick which I am very happy about however, I am concerned that you might drop Gatwick in a future brochure. As I have already booked, is my booking from Gatwick secure if you decide to change the airport in the future before my departure ?

I am also disappointed that you changed Treasures of Andalucia to the departure airport of London City as I was going to book this for 2018 before I decided to book Costa de la Luz of which I am looking forward to. Many thanks. Kind regards, Grahame

I too prefer Gatwick and do not mind Heathrow or even Stansted as at least you can get there by coach. I do not think London City is easy to get to as one would have to travel to London and then change or take a taxi. I personally do not fancy travelling through London with a suitcase, especially if you have to negotiate stairs and overcrowded underground.

Regards

Jaya

I think I saw this with most of JY going to London City Airport to try it out, not sure if it was Facebook. I too would have a problem with London City as it would involve travelling by Tube with a suitcase- not the easiest thing to do. I normally come into London by coach to Victoria if I need St Pancras which is a pain on the Victoria Line in the rush hour. I have looked at the tube map and cannot see a direct route to London City Airport from Victoria. What a nightmare 😞

Access to London City would be a no go from me. Why not use Stansted?

Good Afternoon Grahame,

Unfortunately as far as airline schedules are concerned and particularly because it is so far in the future, we are unable to guarantee flight details whether that is times/airport.

I'm sorry I don't have a clear answer for you.

Kindest Regards,

Mildred.

So pleased you are using London City for Andalusia. Have had this tour on my list for a while and now that I will not have to go to Gatwick it is at the top of my list.  LOVE London City Airport.  So small, so easy, so user friendly.

Hi Essa,

I will keep everything crossed for you that the airport remains the same one. I think you should be ok as I've never seen the airport changed from the posted airport - only the times.
