The British low-cost airline Easyjet, which transports more than 10,000 people every week between Lanzarote and various destinations in the United Kingdom, France, Italy, and Switzerland, has committed to keeping the price fixed for its flights once the booking is confirmed.
This guarantees that customers will not suffer fare increases between the time of purchase and the flight.
The CEO of the company, Kenton Jarvis, made it clear: "Our customers will not be charged anything extra after making the reservation, including fuel surcharges”.
Some airlines, as is the case with Volotea, have announced pricing policies that link ticket prices to the cost of fuel. Given that the double closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran and the United States is driving up kerosene prices.
Thus, if the fuel has risen, Volotea can charge a surcharge of up to 14 euros per passenger and route while if it falls, the airline undertakes to return the difference to you.
Easyjet's commitment has a name, it has been called ‘Book with Confidence’ to “convince undecided customers and guarantee them that their summer holidays are secured, after the busiest Easter period in its history”.
In addition, the airline has confirmed its intention to “operate the full program across its entire network, in a context where some competitors have canceled thousands of planned flights”.
The company is expected to transport more than 50 million passengers during the summer season.
In case the airline is forced to cancel any flight, “customers are always guaranteed an alternative flight, a voucher, or a full refund,” the note to the media concludes.
