    legally can a pregnant women not fly after x number of weeks.
    what happens if the person just looked overweight

    People do disguise the bump and fly when heavily pregnant. Stupid thing to do given the risk they are putting themselves and the baby in.

    Please read all previous posts.
    So what would your losses have been had you booked with your own airline?

    And how much more expensive were they than Easyjet (assuming they fly the same route)? ;)

    Ha ha! I agree Yorkshire Boy, I do have travel insurance and may well be covered, it is something I shall look into :) I havent yet informed friends of my pregnancy, a little too early you see, just wanted to know what my options may be before springing the situation on the poor beleaguered head bridesmaid.

    Easyjet actually give you the option to buy a Flexi ticket http://blog.easyjet.com/launch-of-our-new-flexi-fare-ticket/

    It is however more expensive than the restricted, non refundable ticket, just like the full service airlines.

    Honestly, I can't believe some of the responses on this forum! You all seem to be siding with the airline. If you give an airline 7 months notice to cancel a flight they should be able to cancel it and give you a refund. I can understand if there was an admin fee for the cancellation but to not offer any refund is theft, plain and simple. The airline would cancel your ticket, give you no refund and then sell on your ticket and make twice the money!
    Finally, I can't believe you are saying that it is the fault of J Sh for getting pregnant! It suprises me how small minded some people can be.

    So you're suggesting all tickets should be refundable? You do realise the cost would rocket?
    It surprises me how moronic people can be

    Not moronic, more just a case of people not wanting to accept responsibility for their actions or choices.

    The OP had the option to choose either a cheapie, non refundable flight, or a more expensive flexi ticket, but it now appears that they want the rights that go with the expensive one whilst only paying the price for the cheap one.
