cancelling a flight with Easyjet

[Karennina]

Can anyone advise please.. I have a flight booked with EJ for three weeks Monday and due to having an operation last week I am pretty sure I wont be needing the ticket... One option is for me to try and sell it on but I dont think it will be snapped up think I paid £250 with 20 kilo luggage time someone pays the name change that is another £35.... anyway I thought about paying the £35 and what ever the cost of a new flight will be but do not kow when I will be able to fly...does anyone know please what Easyjet's policy is for cancelling a flight and whether I would get any money back at all from them?many thanks for any help with this and apolgies for any speling errors as I am having to type lying down

Your flight is non-refundable.  Your only option would be to change your flight to a later date.

You can claim back off your insurance

oh did not realise it is non refundable thought I may get a percentage back.... I only changed my insurance company in April so that prob wont go down too well.. bloomin flight companies I get nothing but they will resell my seat I am sure... many thanks for advice....

Don't let them resell it, just don't turn up! And who knows, three weeks on Monday you might just feel like you could use them

did not think of that Keith so they can not resell it   :)i dont think it is going to very likely i will be able to fly maybe i will give it all another week to decide what to do thanks

The following link from NHS Choices might help you make a decision.  Hopefully a week from now you will be feeling much better.

Rather than lose all your money, if you feel there is no chance of you using your ticket, you would be better changing your flight to a later date.

thank you for that link Marrgie it is brilliant, I can not believe you can fly seven daysafter brain surgery I dont think I would want to!!!mine comes under a major,I think I will see how it goes (I have had a little set back today so my thoughts turned to sortin my flight out)what I will do is look at the prices with a view to changing to a bit later and pay the£35...

Don't forget that if its a return flight, they charge you £35 each way.

no Fran really I thought it would be a one off fee  >:(does this apply to all airlines sorry but I have never had to change a flight before)!
