Unwanted Flight

[comethailandlewlew]

I have a return flight from LHR to BKK booked through E bookers and i would not like to go.

I called e bookers and i would loose about £170 off the price i paid for the EVA ticket.

I think i cant sell it because the name cant be changed.

has this happend to anyone before?

You can't sell it. you could get a date change though that would also cost. If not, you'll have to take the loss. Be aware, airline refunds can also take time so check that out too.

I was due to fly out to Bangkok (and then on to Phuket) just before Christmas 2004 ironically with EVA. Due to an illness in the family however I was unable to travel. Contacted ebookers who told me I could change the date of travel or lose all my money. As the cost of changing the ticket was quite expensive and I had no idea when I would be able to travel I forfeited the money.

Just to add I also contacted the airline and there is nothing they can do about an outward flight...but they can assist you with the return leg only if you have already flown out.

Dependent on your circumstances If you booked with your credit Card it may be possible to get a refund. Some cards have built in Insurance.

You will have to deal with the Credit card People directly.

You could try to talk directly with EVA Air in Amsterdam, few times I needed they gave excellent service to me. +31204466280

Once I was in a hospital and my returnflight ASD-BKK expired but they gave me a new one for free, they (can affort to) go much further the the regular booking agencies.

It all depends on the ticket conditions. Look at your booking class, symboled by a letter, like class Y, and check the conditions on EVa's website.

How cheaper the tickets, the more restriction will be placed on it.
