I made a mistake booking Easyjet ticket

Africanlion

Hi folks
Just realized I booked a flight to Amsterdam from Edinburgh and the return date is wrong. I fly out 20/04/2017 but just noticed I booked the return 30/04/2017 when I wanted to return on the 22/04/2017. Changing the dates on return flight they want £190.

What is my best option? I notice that it says there is an admin fee for cancelling a flight.

Please help me I am desperate

There's no charge to cancel a flight unless you've booked it within the last 24 hours. Then you get a full refund less the admin fee of £25. When you change a flight you pay the admin fee, which depends on when you're travelling and how far in advance you make the change, and any difference in fare cost.

Maybe it's cheaper to throw away the inbound flight and rebook.

would it be cheaper to just book a new flight for the correct days and claim the taxes on the one that you dont fly

Hi thanks for replying. I booked it 2 weeks ago and only noticed the mistake today when my host in Amsterdam asked me to forward the confirmation from easyjet. So in this case do I get a full
l refund?

Sadly no. You only get the full refund if you cancel within 24 hours of booking (minus the admin fee).
You will not be able to get a refund on the return leg. Your best bet is to book a new one-way flight back from Amsterdam and hope it's cheap. You could then try and reclaim the taxes on the flight you can't use.
Current Easy Jet fare for your return flight is 167 euros, but if you can fly back a day later it's 114 euros. KLM to Glasgow is £120 (late evening direct flight).
