I have just been RIPPED off by Easyjet

High Horse? Or maybe I'm just one of a good few trying to help the OP?

As for helping, here is the link to Consumer Direct. I recently reported EJ because they had misleading advertising for their sale. They were stating that all seats on all routes would be discounted for every day of their sale but I had checked the price of the seats I wanted the day before the sale (Thurs, didn't get paid until the Fri) and when I tried to book the seats during the sale they actually cost more in the sale than they did before it.

Anyone with a genuine gripe should consider reporting it to this site, the only way to stop companies like EJ taking advantage of it's customers is to make sure that they are penalised when found out.

Won't help the OP get his £100 back but but it might stop it happening to someone else and I'm sure there must be someone on this forum that can suggest a way to persuade EJ to refund the £100?

Edited to say: See, Thanks Bairn7, knew someone would be able to come up with some help.

Well by a combination of British Airways and Emirates I will be in Indonesia by saturday.

Not a whiff of Sleazyjet or the other scummy one needed at any stage.

Well bully for you, unfortunately BA nor Emirates fly to my destination from my regional airport, nor are they very MSE.:rolleyes:

.

To be honest, the OP only ever made the one post, so you are probably all wasting your time in your futile attempts to help him/her.

So how do you suggest that I travel from EMA to Spain, then to Morocco and back - all for less than £50? If you can do it, I will be happy to make a booking right now. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Now you're getting pedantic.

Whilst no gun was put to his head, essentially and save for canceling his flight - he was forced to pay.

Lets not start getting silly.

Nothing pedantic about stating FACT.

Easyjet and the other low cost airlines are businesses not charities. If you want to deal with a business, you accept their terms and conditions.

My family have had to change four return Ryanair flights to Ireland this week, it has cost approx £250 to do this (the new flights were at very short notice). They are not covered by insurance because the original flights were so cheap. Upon booking they knew that they would incur further cost if they had to change the flights, and therefore they have paid the difference without any silly fuss and moaning.

Nobody is forcing the OP to change their flight.

Exactly, same here.

Perhaps BA/Emirates may start the EMA / Spain run.. shouldn't cost a lot more than around a grand I would guess.:rolleyes:

Why should i suggest anything to you?

You make your lifestyle choices and I`ll make mine,I couldn`t care less where you wish to travel or how much you wish spend,that quite simply is your choice.

I choose to spend to my budget for a better quality of service.

My point is,that Easyjet are rip off merchants.

No need to throw your dummy out the pram just because you can't answer a perfectly good question? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

The OP isn't changing his flight though, just amending a name on an existing ticket. Do you think this is worth the £140 he had to pay?
