LOL, I've forgotten all the German I learnt at school as well, so dont worry.

I cheated and used babelfish translator, though even if we could read German, I doubt it would have helped, I think the second email is Dutch or something similar, LOL

I've just checked my e-mails and i found this.

I have checked the website https://www.diytravel.co.uk and have verified that

Now i paid £1382 for this hotel, so this would mean that i would be paying £170
But the web-site that i asked them to check was travel republic who have the holiday at a much cheaper price. E/jet said that 2 rooms were not available to book, i disputed this and sent in a screen shot. I have also just checked again with travel republic and found this



The details and cost for your accommodation is shown below.

Occupancy Room & Board Type Total
2 Adults Double/ Twin Standard
Bed And Breakfast 315.12
2 Adults Double/ Twin Standard
Bed And Breakfast 315.12

---

Total Cost: £630.24
Deposit Payable Now: £126.04


So as you can see the holiday is still available.
Now this would mean £1382 - £630.24 = £751.76 x 2 = £1503.52

I have submitted this to easyjet and asked them to double check with travel republic.

So if anyone wants a free holiday to amsterdam, look here.

e/jet 30th july for 3 nights staying at the 4* NH Caransa £691 inc brekkie

travel republic have it for £315.12
find-rooms have it for £320

I hope that helps someone.

I do not agree. I am having this argument with Easyjethotels regarding my booking in July to Paris (see earlier post). DIYTravell had quoted two different prices at the time I booked with Easyjethotels i.e.

Double/Twin Superior £490.40
Double/Twin (Superior) £654

Easyjethotels want to base the price difference on the dearest quote. I have contacted DIYTravel who state (I have an Email) that the rooms are identical. The reason for the two rates is different suppliers. Their computer showed both suppliers rates, which has now been amended and they have changed their terms and conditions to explain why this may occur.

My argument is that I could have booked an identical room at the time of booking for £490.40, and paid £907.

I will let you know the outcome but I cannot see how they cannot accept this reasoning and would consider Small Claims Court action if they refuse.

I am still waiting for a positive reply. Have phoned twice and emailed three times. Anyone else had to wait so long (booked on 9th Feb) ?

mmm... I had something similar when they blocked my account because i use the DD a lot of times. I found a DD deal and i write them an email to reclaim de DD, they don't answer me, I write again another email... nothing, I telephone them and then they gave me the bad notice, I hope that it is not your case

I need some help here.

Can anyone confirm that they have had a price match confirmed with https://www.lastminute.com?

I have just had a reply saying they wouldnt match it, as it wasn't the final price, saying that lastminute charge extra for Credit card payments, my argument is that I would have paid by Debit card.

Just really need to know if anyone has had a successful match with lastminute before I call them.
Also, is it possible to submit another website, as there are another 2 websites considerably cheaper than EJH?

Cheers
Baz

Hold down the 'Windows' key (bottom row, has the Windows logo on it) and press 'Print Screen' (top right after F1, F2....F12). Open a program such as Paint and select paste. Then save as a JPEG image.

Many thanks Saint Chris ! - looking forward to a cheap break in Amsterdam. Booked and accepted by easyjethotels. Hope to use our bmi miles for the flight.

It would be really cool if there was a search engine like hotelcomparison simply designed to search for price differentials like this one...
