Thomsonfly has withdrawn plans to fly to Grenoble a few days after the destination went on sale.
It will instead fly to Lyon, which is further from the ski resorts. A spokesman for the TUI-owned airline told TravelMole it has ditched the smaller airport of Grenoble in favour of Lyon because the latter has better passenger facilities and better ground transportation to take passengers on to Alpine ski resorts.
The flights from Coventry to Lyon start on December 16. Flights are on sale from £23 one way including taxes and charges.
Passengers already booked to fly to Grenoble will be offered a refund or a flight to Lyon. According to a spokesman associated bookings like car hire have also been transferred or refunded.
