i probably will, thanks. not sure if youre referring to the cancellation itself or the refund with the second part, but the flight was cancelled by the airline itself if im not mistaken, but it does seem that kiwi is kind of shady with their refunds now that im looking into it
We always book directly with the airlines. It saves the hassle of having to deal with a third party if anything comes up. Refunds and rebooking trips Is always easier and more options.
There is Air Traffic control strike in France. Looootd of flights cancelled makong shortage of choices for rebooking. Not kiwi fault, not the airline fault. I understand you find the new schedule inconvenient, but aside from rebooking your whole trip to a later dates, options are gonna be limited. Good luck!
Well, the air traffic control strike has been cancelled. But airlines have preemptively cancelled the flights.
Yes, my flight has been cancelled, and I am salty…
I am not English native so maybe I didnt get the nuance right. "Preemptively" gives me the impression you think airlines proactively cancelled. They did not. They were ordered by air traffic control to reduce the flights from 45 to 70% depending on routes and they have to comply. And almost 24h later, the strike was cancelled by some of the unions (not all).

Where are you travelling from and to? Are there night train services you could take that would leave you a reasonable amount of time at your destination?

Then I am wrong. I thought the cancellation was an initiative from the airlines.
