 Poster: A snowHead
|
Probably been asked a dozen times, but can't find the definitive answers! Maybe someone can help…
1. If I change my flights with Easyjet (i.e. fly a couple of days earlier), I know I will have an admin fee (£35) plus any difference in fare. But what is not clear is whether everything I have paid for Upfront Seats, Luggage and Sports Equipment transfers to the new flight or if i have to pay for these again.
2. Two of my kids have their own skis (totally worth it as we live near Glenshee), am I "allowed" to pack their skis with my own and only pay for 1 x Sports Equipment? Or is there a significant risk this will be challenged? Their skis easily fit in with mine in the ski bag.
Thanks in advance...

On 2 I think strictly speaking it is against the rules to have more than one pair of skis but EJ have never batted an eye at or paid any attention to anything other than the total weigh of my 2 huge roller coffin bags with mine and my 2 kids skis, boards and everything else we need for the trip in. Think the rub is if it they were delayed they would only fork out for rental of 1 item per bag.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Thanks davit, I thought as much. Looks like it is worth the risk.

Yep, my travel insurance covers delayed baggage anyway so I don't worry about it. Think our record was 4 pairs of skis and a snowboard in 2 bags.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

You'll need to Register first of course.

zikomo, I'm not absolutely sure, but I think you'd just pay the difference between the two totals - and not have to pay the luggage etc again. That would be a bit much!
That is, if all the names remain the same.

zikomo, I've transferred flights and the hold luggage/sports luggage/seats is all transferred at no extra cost. It does cost £35.00 each to transfer flights, per person, per leg of the journey as well as any fare increase.

Something I've never understood is why anyone would change a name on a flight. It's £35 a flight plus any difference in fare. Which means the fare is what you'd pay if you booked a new flight - PLUS a £70 admin fee. So why would you do it (assuming you're buying the flight off someone who can't go and not getting it for nowt)?
Or have I missed something? We had a flight that was £150 and wanted to transfer it. The flight had gone up by a tenner, so the new chap would have paid £150 to the original passenger and then an extra £80 for the transfer/extra fare - total £230. Instead of £160 to book a new flight.

I interpret it differently - if you paid £150 originally, then fare up to £200, you'll pay the difference, i.e. £50 plus the admin fee.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Yes, that's what I understand too, jocrad, - but usually you'd expect that the original passenger (in this case one of my mates) would want to get their money back - I guess if I had paid to take one of my kids and decided to take the other one then it's worth it - but I organise a couple of skiing and cycling trips each year where occasionally people drop out and this simply isn't worth it. Jet2's group booking service is the best for that - you pay thirty quid despoit but you can cancel without any further charge and change names free up to 8 weeks before you go.
