  • I wouldn't have thought so.

    I bought some jeans a few weeks ago that are now £5 cheaper. I have no expectation of a refund.

    I understand that but unlike clothes shops I know that some Airlines will price match.:)

    I would imagine any price matching is done BEFORE you commit, not afterwards.

    Would you be happy to have another £75 slapped on next month if the price goes up?
  • I bought a holiday from Thomas Cook just after Christmas. It has now gone up by £200 per person. I hope they don't come asking me for the difference;)

    The thing is, you have had a good few weeks of happiness, knowing that your flights are booked and looking forward to your holiday. Anyone who books today will have missed out on those weeks of happiness and so is getting an inferior product, hence the price reduction.

    In order to make things fair, if you get the price difference refunded then Thomas Cook would have to wipe your memory and remove all trace of the happiness that you have enjoyed.

    Interesting. Which airlines do you know that will price-match after you have bought a ticket? That would be valuable information to share with the MSE community.

    You've booked a flight with easyJet, and received a refund of the difference when the new booking price subsequently went down?

    You get a credit voucher to use on your next flight, valid for 6 months
