A dad who is going on a ‘holiday of a lifetime’ to Florida with his family feels let down by his package holiday provider after he claims they tried to charge him £511 extra because of a rescheduled flight.

Les Corrigan, 51, and his family are due to fly from Manchester Airport to Orlando at the end of July for 15 nights. The trip, which cost about £1,700 for flights and accommodation, was booked in September with package holiday provider loveholidays.

Les, who spent more than £3,000 on attraction tickets and excursions for his family, was told in May that his return connecting flight from Atlanta to Manchester had been cancelled and would need to be rescheduled.

The flight was later changed to one which would see the family have a 27 hours layover in Atlanta.
