Poster: A snowHead
|
I bought six tickets with them 3 months ago the flights are now much cheaper. Can I get a reduction or is that just the way these things work?
Cheers

Jumping Jack Flash, just the way it works, I'm afraid . Unless you're able to cancel and rebook at a price that leaves you with cash in hand..but that's unlikely.

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

Jumping Jack Flash, Your extra money paid for the certainty that you would be able to get the flights. Would you rather have attempted to book short notice - and not been able to get them?
Rule no 1 - once you have booked a holiday - don't look later to see how cheap you could have got it - or discuss the price with anyone else on the same flight/holiday - or look at the snow reports before you go unless you know they are going to be good. You will rarely make yourself any happier.

Don't Easyjet offer a refund in those circumstances though? Worth checking if Jet2 do also.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Yes, you can get a refund from Easyjet. I rang them this week and received £50 for flights in Feb. Has to be used against future flights. No quibble from EJ, has to be done over phone but only took 5 minutes.

You'll need to Register first of course.

Don't think Jet2 will be as generous as Easyjet but then it can't hurt to try.

Jet2 will not do it. I challenged the fact that when I booked there was a fuel supplement but when the flight goes (and you book now) there is not and a larger baggage weight allowance

I rang them and was told "the earlier you book the cheaper it is!" by a confused person in a call centre, then spoke to the supervisor who said that they're not authorised to credit accounts and I needed to speak to the complaints department. When Iasked to do this, they explained that there was NO PHONE NUMBER for them but gave me an address to write to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
W4NKERS!!!!!!!!

Jumping Jack Flash, what exactly were you expecting from a budget airline? If you buy any goods and the price goes down do you go back to the retailer and ask for the difference???

Got to agree with that. About the only thing that's really annoying me about Jet2 at the moment is you never know till the bitter end if you are going to get a fuel surcharge. It just seems to be pot luck, booked flights to Geneva no surcharge, flights for the missus to Malaga same date booked within an hour and got a surcharge .

kitenski, midgetbiker, I agree with your points but if easyjet do it, you'd think they would as well. I'm not complaining about the price of flights in genear as they are still very cheap. i remember paying £250 as a student in 1993 to fly from Manchester to Faro! I just thought that as the difference was half the price I'm paying it was worth a go esp. as there is virtual parity with the pound at the moment.
