Can you claim back if your holiday goes down?

We booked for Turkey in June with Hays and Jet2 before it all kicked off over there and I've just checked and the holiday has now gone down £600 cheaper! Is there any way we can claim back the difference? I know you can with Easyjet flights but not sure with others. Ours is all with Jet2.
Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

  • I assume if the price goes up, you'll be contacting Hays and Jet2 to make up the difference in price?
    From Poland...with love.

    I'm just asking a simple logical question PolishBigSpender, if you lost £600 you would be gutted too wouldn't you? We've saved for years for a hol so if I can save anywhere I can, I would.

  • You haven't lost £600, you are paying the price you agreed to, the price you felt the holiday was worth.

    And no, there's no hope of you getting any money back.

    £600 is a fair difference. How much will you get back if you cancel your existing holiday now? (it will be covered in the T&Cs)
    If you lose less than £600 by cancelling you could cancel and rebook at the new price and still benefit from some of the reduction.

    Hays is a good company, jet 2 a comfortable airline. Just stick with what you have.

    Why check the holiday again after purchase?

    Pay an amount you're happy with, look forward to your trip, move on.

    My wife does this all the time. Drives me mad:D

    I never expect a refund when it gets cheaper though!

    You chose to buy when you did, you could have postponed booking it but you chose not too.

    With the problems they are having in Turkey it's not surprising that the prices have plummeted in recent weeks.

    Unless it's worthwhile cancelling (and losing your deposit) then rebooking at the current price then there's not a lot you can do.
