Do I have to pay more for my rescheduled flights?

Q I have booked a holiday next June to Zante with my husband and paid a deposit. The flights were with Thomas Cook but have now been rescheduled with Jet2.

I received an email today from the holiday company saying if I want to fly out on the same day I must pay another £145 each. Surely this cannot be right: another nearly £300 on the price of the holiday? My contract is with the holiday company – can they just change it? They have offered a free refund.
