Where did you book to go then?

Problem is, I am itching to book again (my last claim was made in January!). But I really should wait to check out the cheap Ryanair flights tomorrow!

Maybe I'll make some preliminary checks ...

Can anyone advise the normal length of time to wait for the agreed refund to be credited? It's been 8 days since I completed the stay at the hotel that I booked through EasyJet and still nothing.

My sister was looking for a good deal today so I told her to go to the hotelscomparison website and search through there.

Noticed that find-rooms and travelrepublic not coming up in comparison prices. Went to Travelrepublic who I booked my room comparison against and noticed that the prices have almost doubled!

They no longer show total cost but cost per person.

Anyone else noticed some strange shinnanikins (can't spell it) going on?

Looks like they are a cartel or something.:eek:

bloaty,

Yes, I do think there is something fishy going on - Hotelopia is part of a much bigger group, and does possibly have more influence than we originally thought. Supply and demand does not have as much influence as some of the changes noted recently.

On that note, and in honour of being post 666 (don't I get some thanks for taking that possibility off everybody else?!), can somebody help me with the following please? I am just not getting anywhere tonight!

I wish to go away from 30/3 to 2 or 3/04. Preferably to Milan or Madrid, or Barcelona if the flight prices come down (flying from East Mids). Because I am an almighty snob, I would prefer 4 or 5*.

Any suggestions gratefully received ...

Thank you, thank you, thank you x

vii) easyJetHotels will not reimburse clients if the compared accomodation is not situated in a easyJet Airline destination, is part of a package, is shown in a currency different to that quoted by easyJetHotels, if the competitor rate is not offered by a UK bonded travel agency and/or if the rate is offered on a branded hotel chain website.

does that mean it has to be in the 1st drop down menu on EJH's site? (Select your destination airport)

thanks

Yep!

Need to write something else now as yep isn't long enough! x

I got very excited at hotel comparison site but with hotel I was considering best price was £3 cheaper for 4 nights in hotel, so not worth bothering with!!

ARRgh.

I had an e-mail this morning from EJH saying my claim has been passed to head office. As they are supposed to confirm within 3 days, according to T&C's, I guess I will chase end of tomorrow for news if I haven't had any joy...
