They have doubled!!!! and if you dont pay EasyJet by this coming Monday you will not be able to fly.

We booked the flights to Edinburgh from Bristol next summer and they sent us an email telling us to pay

Great It sucks

Easyjet have taken the nice appraoch, compared to jet2, who are using card details provided when you paid for a flight to take the money from you without asking for you to pay it. i think they need a lesson in PR!!!

personally I dont think they should be allowed to charge you anything.
You were given a price and when you paid for your flight, you signed a contract with the carrier, stating the details including costs. By them charging you more they are breaking that contract.

too true craig, BA have taken this well, they are the only airline i have heard so far that are willing to absorb the cost of this tax for people who have already booked. Everyone else is only pure profit, wheras i personnally think BA have the right idea trying to keep their passengers content.

Tax, tax, tax...

Do they do the same thing when the price of fuel goes up between the time you book and the time you fly?  I know that type of thing wouldn't go over so well in the USA.  We'd throw all the tea in to the harbor...

More Taxes?

Takes the Easy out of Easyjet if you ask me. :-/

not their fault...they are doing what is required of them by the government if yoiu dont like the taxes maybe a new government is in order.

You are not paying EasyJet, you are paying the Government, EasyJet in this case are just a debt collecting agency.

There is a way around this for all passengers and carriers, is for the carriers to let you fly, you have payed and booked, a contact.
Once at check in desk, each passenger gets a personally addressed letter (they have your details already) informing them that they have to pay the local tax office the sum of 40 pounds and that the tax office has been informed of this and contact will duely be made by said office.Then if all passengers refused to pay under the argument of a contract, would President Blair and Side Show Gorden right it off, or take a couple of million people to court each on an individual basis as you are entitled to be tried by your peers.

The government is not daft. EasyJet and other carriers are liable if you do not pay. Tax is tax, as long as it is payed in the name of someone, the government does not care where the money comes from. No pay, no fly, sorry if I was in the position of the carriers I would do the same thing, that is not to say that I am happy, I also have to pay up for a flight next month......but only the tax.........I get two free flights a year from my company

Matt

You have till the end of the month to pay now ............... after complaints about the online system not working.

not their fault...they are doing what is required of them by the government if yoiu dont like the taxes maybe a new government is in order.

It's not their fault when the price of jet fuel goes up either.
