I can't see what you have to claim for. Your flights are separate to the accommodation & you can still go, you just didn't pay for a flexible ticket.

But you haven't had a loss, you just need to change your accommodation.
You're like a whining millennial. Here, hope this helps.

If you pay someone money, you ARE entitled to certain things. This is what TI is for, to take away the risk.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Originally posted by d000hg View PostReally. You book a holiday months in advance and then have to find a new accommodation a few weeks before you're due to travel? Not to mention, if you booked the trip specifically because of the place you'd be staying then it's no longer the same holiday.

Option 2: In future book through a travel agent/tour operator and get them to sort it out as one package rather than you possibly saving a few quid and doing it yourself.
Option 3: in future book fully flexible/refundable flights…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

BTW, you haven't booked a holiday, you booked and paid for some flights and separately you had an email exchange about accommodation, but no deposit was paid for it.
You could always ask the cabin owner if he knows of anywhere else nearby you could stay, or you could tell us the area and maybe some of us could give you suggestions.
Last time I visited Finland I was staying just outside Karesuvanto…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
