    You will have a refund for both outbound and inbound together (eventually)...

    Quick question, does anyone know what the refund time limit was for cancelled flights before Covid19?
    It was and still is by law set at 7 days
    7 days in these circumstances?   I didn't know Easyjet employed Superman and Marvo the Magician.

    I'm don't think anyone is expecting Easyjet to be able to refund in 7 days.  I was however interested in seeing their expectations and justification as to why they can break (T&C's / laws) because of Covid19 yet they don't appear to have any appreciation towards customers who also have been affected,  but still want them to abide to the T&C's.
  • So my BRS-NCL-BRS flights in three weeks time are now non-existent on the website (i.e. no longer showing, no longer showing at "sold out"). Would I be right to assume a cancellation notice will follow shortly from EasyJet?
  • No it may not be cancelled as my flight does not show but I’m checked in hoping that I can finally return to the U.K.  if not and it is cancelled I will have to  go through the system again and change my flight yet again until I can return home.

    Just spoke to HSBC chargeback team who have agreed to refund me the ticket price within 2-3 days :)
    Now there's a coincidence, I request a chargeback and lo and behold easyjet then send me an email today stating that they have processed my refund.  On my booking page its records, '28/06/2020  Credit Shell    *******Call Centre' followed by, '28/06/2020  Visa    *******Refund'.  I wonder what the Credit Shell Call Centre is and whether this relates to my bank having contacted them directly? Either way it seems a chargeback has sharpened the response....

    I requested a chargeback a few weeks ago via natwest and got an email the other day asking for t&c’s, receipts and all correspondence with easyJet before they will look at processing the chargeback. I am just going to give easyjet a bit longer to process the refund before i pursue natwest and they seem to be making it difficult to go through chargeback. I think it was approx 22nd may i requested the refund so hopefully they're getting near to my date now.

    The credit shell is internal Easyjet speak for moving the booking from paid status to refund processed stage. It should take 2 days for it to show back on your CC...

    Looked back through my emails. My request went in the 18th. I could do with the money asap but there doesn't seem to be any quicker option of getting it
