Following on from my previous post about Easyjet lowering the cost of my flights I have to give a big thank you to Nikki from Parsonsgang who told me about the Easyjet price promise which basically says that if your booked flight (time, date & airport) is offered by them at a lower price they will give you a credit for the price difference, valid for 6 months, which can be used towards the cost of another flight or for any extras such as speedy boarding, luggage, insurance ect. You have to phone the customer care team on 0843 104 5000, quoting your booking reference number & tell them what you have found. The girl I spoke to wanted to offer me a credit of £14 pounds until I told her to check again because the difference was actually £40.46 , two hours later i recieved an email with the code number for a credit voucher for the correct amount. To redeem your credit you have to phone the same number but I was only on the phone for a few minutes so it's no problem. Anyone who has booked flights at more than the "earlybird" prices should check how much their flights are now incase they too are entitled to a credit off their next flights, it only takes a coulpe of minutes to check & you could get a good start on the cost of next year's flights. P.S. - there will be an Ouzo on the bar at Crusoes with your name on it Nikki - thanks once again. pete.

Pete.
Don't mean to put a dampner on your good news (courtesy of Nikki) but ... isn't it convenient that the EasyJet "Price Promise" refund is only valid for 6 months; when the vast majority of those potentially effected would probably be holidaymakers who only travel once a year!

Good morning Chris, it shouldn't be a problem for most people, my credit is valid up to the 31/11/12, next year's flights will be available long before then, if I'm not mistaken, this year's early season flights were announced last July with the later ones announced a couple of months later. The credit can also be used against insurance or luggage or speedy boarding for any flights that are already booked. It's worth taking a couple of minutes to check out the current prices, I'm happy that I did, after all £40 is £40, better in my future budget than theirs. pete.

They were released at the beginning of July - I was only back a couple of weeks when I booked up for this year. It certainly is, Pete - Cocktails on you!
