Why don't Monarch have a similar policy? (or maybe they do, but I don't know about it??)
I contacted them via Twitter yesterday. 'I am here to help' was what she said.
Well I asked if they did the same as easy jet and got the box standard answer that their prices are very competitive and it tends to be cheaper the earlier you book. I laid it on thick saying that we use them all the time (true) and that we booked early not only to get cheaper flights but to support a country we love after all the turmoil. I mentioned they had gone down by almost £100.
The lovely Nichola asked for my booking details and within an hour I had received £100 credit to be used within 12 months. I can use it myself or book flights for someone else.
I'm not saying everyone will get a refund - maybe I was lucky - but if you ask nicely in this world sometimes you get what you ask for
Monarch have just gone up a notch in my estimation.
