Which airline are you travelling with?

Threre is thread running in the flights discussions about fuel charges with Onur.
That's really bad luck but i think everyone will impose this charge now.

we recieved a letter today telling us that we had to pay fuel surcharges, however we went on to Aegean website and found this information witch they wasn't aware was on there, and after a phone call they dropped the charge.

This post has had to be edited for copyright reasons, but the information which was quoted can be found by clicking HERE and scrolling down to the bottom of the page to the section dated 7 January, where it is guaranteed that bookings made before the end of January will not be liable to surcharge.

Well they may have taken it off now, but it was on there this morning have you tried looking on the link from a previous post?

It looks as though Aegean may have edited their website within the last hour so, to remove the no-surcharge guarantee that was mentioned just a few posts above.

However, Google is still holding a cached copy of the page, try clicking HERE and see if you can take a copy of the statement from the foot of the page.

For the moment at least, an identical statement still appears on the H4U website, CLICK HERE and scroll down to the section dated 7 January.

For copyright reasons, we unfortunately cannot reproduce it here.

Hi

I downloaded the page and have just got off the phone with, first Aegean and the girl on there did not have a clue!! Basically all she kept saying was that I would receive a letter from H4U explaining the surcharge. I said I knew for what I was being charged but I told her I booked with Aegean, not H4U and that I shouldnt be paying this surcharge as I had booked last August. I must admit I was very persistent and was not prepared to wait for a letter and in the end she gave me a name of a person at H4U who was dealing with surcharges, I think just to get rid of me. I phoned and spoke to this lady, quoted the guarantee that was on their newsletter and she took the surcharge off as I was speaking. Have checked with the booking confirmation, this has been done and I shall be receiving a revised booking confirmation soon. Talk aout trying it on with people!!! I wish everyone luck. Be persistent and ANGRY, I was!!!! :tup

I have just rang H4U and have had the surcharge reversed, I have checked my booking online and I confirm it has disappeared, they are sending written confirmation.

Thanks you all for saving me 7*£10.94

just checked my booking online and it hasnt come off yet (the lady at h4u said she d take it off) how long did yours take to come off your online booking?

I came off the phone and checked within 5 minutes and it had gone. The lady was really nice, I informed her that I had a copy of the web page on my PC that stated no surcharges, her reply was I don't know why the charge had been applied as it shouldn't have been and said I'll take it off now, she confirmed it had been removed before the end of the call.
