Q We have booked to see our daughter and family in Ohio. The flights, with Delta, are from Leeds Bradford to Amsterdam, to Boston and onwards to Cincinnati, and back the same way.

An email has just arrived saying there is a flight change, with us having to spend 24 hours in Boston on the way back. The flights were a reasonable price but the hotel costs will negate this. We would much appreciate your advice.
