One of them is the 0930 from Manchester on Saturday morning.

The other two are likely Friday 1205 from Liverpool and Saturday 1000 from Liverpool.

You can search via Google

kiwi.com also seems to be able to find a few flights if you get inventive with where you start from.

With most of these sites, be very wary about them changing the dates of flights from the search to what they show you - and also watch out for arrivals with a small +1 next to them which mean they arrive the following day.

Tomorrow - £869 Heathrow (leaves at 18.30) - Kiev via Frankfurt (overnight stopover) and then the same route back but arrive in Heathrow for 20:40. Might help someone.

I've seen some good deals on SkyScanner (£550 return from Aberdeen, £678 from London) but you need to be creative and say goodbye to a direct journey there. Use these search conditions, play with the dates a bit.

Yes amte , have the Eticket but there is little detail on it ( no flight number reference )  .

I was going out from Manc on Saturday at 9.30 and back on the Sunday at 1pm . Is this your flight also ? I got an email a few days later saying e tickets will be sent out later ?

I'm fucking confused now !

I've been sent an eticket but it does have the flight number on it for outbound and the return. Originally I was to be on the 4am or whatever it was from Manchester. But that was changed to the 11am flight Saturday.

Oh Fuck man. I don't know what to say mate. And to everyone here who has been affected. Unreal.

It's limited to three packages. Dreamliners from Liverpool and Manchester flying tomorrow and Saturday. No other WCS flights are affected.

"a dispute between the Widnes-based travel company and the aviation authorities in Kiev over the size of the aircraft has led to the trips being cancelled."

The Manchester 0930 Saturday is the Airbus A350 Ethiopian Airlines flight, not a Dreamliner.

I'm on World Choice from Heathrow on Saturday. I knew about the problems with the three Dreamliner flights but when I saw 'six flights cancelled' I thought it might be mine as well. I had to drop the work I was doing because I was worried and started texting people.

Sorry, in my head it made more sense (six individual flights!).

That said, I am absolutely anxious now that something is going to go down with Thomas Cook's flights now too. Sigh. :(

Yes - I spoke to them this morning. Three Ethiopean Airline Dreamliner flights. Kiev have given slots to 60+ private jets (probably very lucrative) and they pushed back on WCS saying the Dreamliners are too big.

Give them a call or email about your e-ticket. Have you had the text confirmation?

They included the fan information pdf in the email with the e-ticket and it bounced back from my usual email address because it was too big. They sent it to a different email and it went through ok.

Had no text confirmation . If you're right , and I hope you are , my booking will be good ! Think the same will apply to a few others in here .

This all a bit stressful. Will update if I can get through to them .

Edit - just checked my eticket and its an A350 aircraft !

I was booked on the A350 (0930 from Manchester) and have the text to confirm that it has been cancelled.

I *think* the other two flights cancelled are are both Dreamliner flights from Liverpool - one Friday and one Saturday
