Cancel Easyjet flight

I have a flight booked with easy jet for next week, however I am not going now. Does anyone know how I cancel this and what it will cost me, will I get my money back?

I can't find anything on their site and don't really want to phone a help line.

    Most " budget " airlines don't allow cancellations, not 100% sure about Easyjet, but I suspect that you will lose all monies paid if you don't fly.

    Easyjet flights are non refundable. The only thing you can claim is the taxes, but you have to pay an admin charge to do this, which is often more than the taxes itself.

    you can pay £15 to deffer the flight if you think you will use it sometime soon. But if the flight was less than £15 its not worth it.

    Not quite as simple as that I'm afraid.

    You can't defer the flight as such, however you could reschedule your current flight. If you did reschedule, this would be subject to an admin fee of £17.50 if done online, or £20 through the call centre. You would then also have to pay any difference between the old fare and the new fare.

    Thanks for the advice, the flight cost around £100 for two with taxes etc. So I guess I just cut my losses on this one and let easyjet sell the seat again.
  • You could try searching for Easyjet on this website. The alternative numbers may be of some help.

    Actually it is now pretty simple with Easyjet. You will get a £10 refund per person.

    If OP does not turn up for their flight - then Easyjet can't sell it on, so won't make any more money, in fact they will probably lose some as OP won't be charged for in flight drinks and refreshments etc etc.
    If they cancel they give Easyjet an easy option to double their money for no risk.

    I know which I would do!
