  • You are legally entitled to a refund on the TAXES portion of your ticket. The airline will almost certainly keep the FEES & CHARGES element though! Most airlines bury an 'Administration Charge' in your ticket clauses in case of changes/cancellations, which far exceeds the taxes you're due so you'd actually end up paying them! In short, once you've paid it's gone.

    You can change a booking with Easyjet though, so as long as you call them at least the day before the flight you'll be able to use the value of the flight you booked as credit towards booking another flight with them.
