Booking Flights with Ebookers

Hi All,

Just a word of warning in case you get caught out like I did this week.

I used Kyak to search for the cheapest flights, Ebookers came up as the cheapest so I booked a total of four return Flybe flights with them.

A work colleague took a look at my Eticket for me as I didn't think it what I was use to. She asked "what about your luggage?" I looked at her blankly and said it wasn't mentioned at all.

I phoned Flybe and I had booked four return flights with no luggage:eek: The gent asked how much luggage was I taking. I said two cases. He told me that would be £63.92:o Shocked at that, I decided on one case.

If I had gone to the airport oblivious of the luggage charge, it would have been £12 per case per journey:mad:

Once bitten, twice shy and I shant book with Ebookers again!!

Please dont make the mistake I did :-)

    could you not have got the same deal at the same price or cheaper with https://www.flybe.com direct ?
    Im sure they are on Quidco too
  • Hi Budgetflyer,

    Thanks.

    According to Kayak at the time - Flybe were more expensive. I cannot remember how much now but I do have a feeling now I have paid for the luggage. Flybe would have been cheaper.

    A lesson learnt:-)

    Quidco - I have never used but MUST look into it.

    Cheers
