    Hi All I'm looking for some help. August 2020 i had easyjet flights booked to majorca, due to covid i moved them to 2021 it cost me £75ish. better than losing them i thought. Easy jet have now cancelled the august 2021 flights and only refunded my £75 - do i have any rights to claim back the original £500 cost? or is that gone for good. 
    You might have been better starting your own thread, or looking to post in an easyJet thread, rather than this unrelated post about LoveHolidays.

    From what you've said, you are due a full refund via the method paid.  Were the original flights paid via a card perhaps?

    Was it a straight forward date change with paying the £75?  Or did you take a voucher and then use the voucher to book the new flights? If a voucher was involved you will likely be refunded to a voucher.  easyJet have been fairly good with refunds, so I'm sure getting in touch with them should clear up what's happened.
  • All paid by card and no vouchers. Sorry for using the wrong thread. I’ve emailed easyJet so fingers crossed
  • Looking for advice - Had flights booked with WizzAir for 11th Feb to Poland and back, booked before lockdown. Can't travel as the current restrictions do not allow me to. Wizz are still flying so in their eyes the flight is still available and if I cancel i have to pay their fees which amount to more than the flights. I have complained to them but they cannot refund, even in Wizz credit as its against their policy. I have asked how I can take this further and they have referred me to a EU ombudsman but they won't allow you to fill in a claim form if you are in UK as we are not in EU anymore. Can't get money back through bank as it was paid for in Wizz Credit from a previous flight they cancelled. Did take out the Wizz offered Travel insurance but guess what.... not covered in this case.  Any advise gratefully received. Thanks

    When did you book?  
    WizzAir are are technically correct in that they are not responsible for your ability to travel on the operating flights.
