Do you have to pay in full for these flights? or can you just pay the deposit?

Following the surcharges this year, the home page currently states "Summer 2009
On sale 2 June - if you book before 31 August we guarantee no surcharges!" I have take a copy of the web page onto my PC just in case they try and charge beginnng of next year. Would advise others to do the same.

I'm so glad I looked on here tonight after not being on for a week or two. Have just booked July 30-August 13 2009 for £176 each from Newcastle. The same flights for this year were only £86 last June but we did receive an additional fuel surcharge recently. They're still a great price when you think of how much everything's going up.

Does anyone know how much they charge to change the names on tickets and if there are any difficulties with doing this?

I'm thinking about booking some for late in 2009 and of course a lot can happen by then.

Cheers.

Read the T&C on their site at http://www.aegeanflights.com/Booking-Conditions.asp

Changes by You: If you wish to change your plans in any way, or change the names on the booking and we can accept the change, a charge of £20.00 per person per amendment will apply provided that your instructions are received in writing within 14 days of departure. We will try to help you but we cannot guarantee that we will always be able to do this as changes are subject to availability at the time. You will also need to pay any difference in the flight price that results from such a requested change.


The above reads that it will cost £20 to change a name but this is the stinger, the last line basically says if the price of the flight has increased you need to pay the increase as well.

It's happened see http://www.holidaytruths.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=117112

Thank you Celine.

It's the second bit of their statement that I wasn't sure about "You will also need to pay any difference in the flight price that results from such a requested change."

I've managed to get through to them on the phone now and they said that if the lead passenger details change they charge the difference in the cost of the flight (which could have gone up by a lot!) but this doesn't apply if the change is for another person on the booking.

Hi Dave.

Yes, the information in that thread would seem to tie in with what they just told me in that effectively if you try to sell the tickets on (and so the lead passenger details change) you will be charged the difference in the current cost of the flight.

Cheers.

OK I've booked. £137 each for return flights Bristol to Dalaman at the end of August 2009.

Let's hope they don't go bust in between because of the no fuel surcharge guarantee!

Cheers.

Hello Harrison.

I'm not sure who you were aiming your question at, but this is how I looked at it. I'm about to go on a two week holiday costing just over £1,000 for two of us. The holiday actually costs more if you book it for September.

If we assume the same budget for next year, paying £274 for the flight leaves us with over £700 to rent some accomodation (which will probably cost more like £300) and sort out transfers. So I would be amazed if it doesn't work out cheaper plus as we have the flight sorted we should be able to pick a nice apartment somewhere next year.

I did look at booking flights for this year, but as they were coming in at nearly twice as much (about £250 each) I went with a package deal. With the way oil prices are going it seems unlikely that the cost of flights is going to come down.

Cheers.
