Hi All,

I booked flights to Paphos from Bristol for 06 Aug which we now cannot go on.  I am looking to sell the tickets but dont know the best way to go about it.  If they do sell, how do you change the names and who should pay the charges - seller or buyer?  Sorry if these are basic questions but not been in this situation before! Thanks!

    No idea if there really is a market for that (personally I wouldn't dream of buying tickets in that way but have you looked at similar listings wherever you're thinking of advertising?) but obviously the buyer will want to know the total cost of buying the tickets and getting them changed, regardless of how that's broken down, i.e. either you pay the change fees or you reduce the sale price to reflect the fact that the buyer would need to be paying them....

    If I was buying a ticket from someone (I wouldn't) I would expect the ticket to be changed to my name by the seller (including fare difference) you can work out the fees by - (current price-original price)+£49....if not these fees would need to be factored into the price.
    Current price appears to be €146. as an example if you paid €86 it would cost €60 + £49 to change the name...so approx €118 meaning you would need to sell the ticket for less than €28 as otherwise it would be cheaper for the buyer to purchase a new ticket....worth doing the sums to see if worth the effort

    @pappadruid -  You can’t legally resell an Easyjet ticket 

      “Passenger changes

      6.4 You can change the name of a Passenger on a Booking to someone else by paying a Name Change Fee. 

      6.5 You cannot resell your ticket to someone else. We reserve the right to cancel any Booking, without a refund, if we reasonably believe it may have been resold or made available for resale (including, but not limited to, via any online marketplace).”
