Do we have to pay extra if we have already paid in full for our flights??
What if we have booked a package deal and only paid deposit, can they now charge us extra???
A bit concerning....
You will have to read the small print in your terms and conditions. Some will g/tee the price if you have paid in advance but I'm not so sure about deposit bookings.
So small print is so important I guess.
Aegean for example:
Prices: Prices shown on our websites and our advertising are subject to change without prior notice but are fixed at the time of booking and will
generally not be subject to surcharges. The price of your travel arrangements is subject to surcharges for increases in transportation costs (e.g. fuel).
Another exception to this is an increase in costs arising as a result of any government action including but not limited to new or increased taxes such as VAT. Even in this case we will absorb an amount equivalent to 2% of the holiday price, which excludes any amendment charges. Only amounts in excess of this 2% will be surcharged, but, when a surcharge is payable, an administration charge of £5.00 per person together with an amount to cover travel agent's commission (if applicable) will be added. If this means that you have to pay more than 10% of the holiday price you will be entitled to cancel your holiday with a full refund of all moneys paid except for any amendment charge. Should you decide to cancel because of this, you must exercise your right to do so within fourteen days from the date we advised you or your travel agent of the amount due.
and this is from a company that we have booked to go down under with in January:
3.OUR GUARANTEE ON PRICE
We guarantee that the price of your holiday will not be subject to any surcharges.This means that you are fully protected, no matter what happens to the price of fuel or variations in the exchange rate for currency. Once a contract exists between us, then the cost of your holiday cannot be increased. Whilst we reserve the right to change prices from time to time, any changes will be confirmed to you before you make your booking. The price of your holiday as shown on your confirmation invoice will not be increased unless you amend your booking.
