Just booked flights but on wrong day!

03jatkin

Hi guys,


I've literally just 10 minutes ago booked a flight but stupidly selected the wrong date to fly!


I booked through sky scanner which is a one way ticket from Budapest to Amsterdam.
with a stopover in hamburg.


I've called up lastminute.com who the booking was processed with and the guy (who wasn't English) explained in quite bad English that he would put a request for a refund in and I would get an email.


any advice if I can get a refund on this?


thanks!

if they take sympathy then you may be able to change the date for nothing but I reckon you will have to rebook and lose what you have paid out or pay a fee to change it

Surely if it just happened and your jumping through websites its a reasonable request?


Are there not any laws reference misbookings

Lots of airlines allow changes within 24 hours for genuine errors. Which airline is this booked with?

I think its through lastminute.com and I think the airline is eurowings.

should of booked direct with airline as now you have to go through last minute who will act on your behalf for eurowings

just spoken direct to the airline and I can change it for no charge, just the difference in the cost of the flight which is around £13.


winner!




Thank you for all the help.

Great news, you're very lucky! Most of the time the airline will refuse to deal with you and insist you go through the travel agent (who then add even more fees!).

Maybe Lastminute don't have a relationship with Eurowings and just booked on the Eurowings website with your details? I know many of them do that with Ryanair.
