I went to redeem Easyjet's offer of free flight amendments due to the unprecedented situation we now find ourselves in with regards to our travel bookings.
I'm not interested in a refund and I'm more than happy to postpone. HOWEVER, even though the total return cost of our new dates is significantly less than our original booking, they want us to pay £500 to amend because one of the legs is more expensive than our original booking, even though the other leg is significantly less. 

The total cost of the new booking is over £200 cheaper and I'm not looking for a refund, just to book new dates at no extra charge. It's impossible to speak to anyone as all means of communication are jammed. Should I amend and pay the difference or is it worthwhile speaking to someone? The also have strongarm tactic of saying the change fee is only waived if you do it online.

  • Sounds like you could just get your money back and play it by ear. Who knows when or if you will want to go there later in the year.
