Delayed flight

My husband, daughter and I are booked onto flight LS2119 from Leeds Bradford to Chambery today Saturday 19th February. We have spent over 2 hours sitting on the aeroplane whilst it was de-iced and told the plane had a fault which they were trying to mend. This proved to be impossible so we were taken off the plane and told to wait in the terminal and then after a further wait told the flight would not run and to return to the aeroport on Sunday morning 20th February when we would be taken by bus to Manchester for a 12 0'clock flight from Manchester to Chambery.
We were not offered any overnight accommodation by Crystal who said the problem was jet2's. There was no Crystal representative to assist us even though the holiday we booked was with Crystal . I would like to know why there was no representative in attnedance to guide us through this problem We have now lost one seventh of our holiday. We have lost a days ski hire, ski pass hire and accommodation hire. We have had to make our own way home and will obviously have to make our own way back to the aeroport in the morning at our own cost. My husband spoke to your emergency representative Dave on the telephone whilst he appologised for the problem he said the problem was primarily with jet 2. We strongly feel that Crystal should have been available to ensure everyone was adequately accommodated as we paid Crystal for the holiday. No general announcement was made offering assistance we were only told to report back to the aeroport at 8 am on sunday 20th February to be taken to Manchester. We purposely booked a package through an agent in April to enusre obtaining the holiday we wanted and feel that we have been poorly treated.
I look forward to your swift attention regarding this matter.

    We experienced Jet2 problems at the other end!

    We were expecting to be boarding our return flight from Chamberry back to Leeds on Saturday at around 19:45 local time. However at about 19:15 we were informed that the Jet2 flight (that you mentioned above) would be delayed because the plane had not even left Leeds due to your planes technical problems. I understand that the Jet2 flight was due to leave Leeds at 17:00 on Saturday so why did it take over 2 hours before communicating the delay at our end...

    Our outward Jet2 flight from Leeds to Chambery was diverted to another airport due to a Jet2 technical problem. We were only advised of the change of plan once on the plane. This resulted in an extra hours wait while the coaches were diverted plus an extra hour transfer to resort. As such we missed the evening meal that we paid for and recieved a bag of crisps, water and sweets instead...hardly a balanced meal.

    Incidently the previous ~13:00 Jet2 flight from Chambery to Leeds on Saturday was delayed by 7 hours due to technical problems...

    So due to the delays with the Jet2 flights the start and end of our holidays were very stressful and very disappointing...don't think I'll be chosing my next holiday with Crystal unless there is another aircraft operator...too many technical problems in a short space of time seems more than just a coincidence to me.
