can you elaborate on which long haul airlines do ? I'd be interested in knowing.

Most airlines will actually give you a refund if ticket prices do drop. These will come in the form of airline vouchers but nonetheless worth it.

I've not come across this before ... can you name any examples? could be useful

And what planet exactly are those airlines on ? The same one as you perhaps because it just doesn't happen !

Let's take Easyjet as the first example

Bet its never happened though! It only applies if it is a non promotional fare which their cheaper fares invariably are, and if you are lucky enough to get it, it then has to be used within 6 months

American Airlines do it as well. Officially they only refund on price drops above $150, but they'll do less if you ask. Unfortunately, the vouchers aren't valid for restricted transatlantic flights.

sorry cubegame. most of us have never heard of this happening on any long haul airline. and after readiing peasyjet's t&cs, as posted above by photome, that's pretty poor recompense if you can't satisfy those 'fairly' restrictive t&cs....any others?

as everyone said, its the gamble you take.

Our honeymoon was cancelled due to the ash cloud and wanted to rebook as we are both off again soon, over the course of the week the holiday price changed by over £500, reaching almost £1900, mainly due to the hotel cost rising by £250 each, same room/flights/etc but hotel prices fluctuated. We were not going to pay that much, as we ideally wanted to get it the same as we had previously booked

Checked on monday and the hotel price was low, managed to get it for just shy of £1400 with everything the same as earlier, it was also £5 less than the previous booking that was cancelled, but now on a sea view, on the old booking a sea view was a £200 option!

The other tip is NEVER ask other holidaymakers what they paid, as can be seen by what i found a £500 difference for the same hotel, flights/etc, it may spoil someones holiday if you smugly say yours was £500 less (and if you booked directly the hotel alone would be £1300!)

Would you be sending a cheque if the holiday had gone up?
