Easyjet rip-off!

Hi,
Booked 3 easyjet return flights last October 2012 to go to ibiza in August 2013. I was under the impression, that if you book early, you get a better deal. However, my wife's colleague at work,told her that flights to ibiza were really cheap. So today, i done a price check on the Easyjet website, putting in exactly the same details and was astonished to find the flights now, are £200 cheaper!! I am fuming. It has gone DOWN from £688 to £488!! I have emailed Easyjet to register my disgust, threatening to contact the CAA and BBC Watchdog about this. Do you think I have a right to complain about this or not?

NOPE. Prices are subjuct to supply and demand, and can go up or down.0

nope, if the flights had gone up £200 would you be contacting Easyjet to offer to pay them the extra???'Children are not things to be moulded, but are people to be unfolded'0

Always obey the golden rule of buying airline tickets...
Book and then don't look.

How have you been ripped off exactly?? You must have been happy with the amount you paid at the time and that's all that matters.
It's always annoying when something we buy decreases in price but that is VERY common with these airlines, as well as clothes, DVDs etc.
My rule of thumb, if I don't think it's worth the cost I don't pay it

Just a bit annoyed as this is the first time it has happened with me with Easyjet. I was slightly peeved when I originally booked the flight as they went up 50 per cent from the previous year!!0

Our Rome flights with Jet2 in October have come down also, so you are not alone. - sally0

Prices go up and down, you jump aboard when you think the price suits you. If the price goes up you're happy, if it goes down - tough sh*t.
I must admit I do look after booking but only so I don't make the same mistake again. Ryanair haven't got the better of me for a long while now but thanks to all those that subsidise my travels.
Falling prices, I'm sure witchdog will be very interested, Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz0
