Changes to the B and H class fare rules on Shorthaul and Domestic from Upgradeable to Changeable

On 15th July 2004, we are introducing a new change booking condition to our B and H class upgradeable fares on UK to Europe and UK Domestic routes.

This will offer the flexibility of rebooking to the same class, B or H, for a fee of £30 per transaction, or any higher class for a fee of £30 per transaction plus any difference in fare.

If one or more sectors in the same booking are changed at the same time i.e. before ending booking, then only a single £30 fee will apply plus any difference in fare.

If one or more sectors in the same booking are changed and the booking ended and then a subsequent change is made, an additional £30 fee will apply plus any difference in fare.

The table/examples below show how to apply the correct fee.

Sectors changed or upgraded Transactions Amount payable
(a) One One £30 plus any difference in fare
(b) Two One £30 plus any difference in fare
(c) Two Two £60 plus any difference in fare

(a) One sector in the same booking is changed to same class in one transaction
Original booking LHR GLA B 01DEC / GLA LHR B 10 DEC
Changed booking - outbound sector rebooked in same class LHR GLA B 06DEC / GLA LHR B 10 DEC
Amount payable: £30 plus any difference in fare.

(b) Two sectors in the same booking are upgraded to a higher class in one transaction
Original booking LHR FRA B 01DEC / FRA LHR B 10 DEC
Changed booking - both sectors upgraded LHR FRA J 02DEC / FRA LHR J 12 DEC
Amount payable: £30 plus any difference in fare.

(c) Two sectors in the same booking are changed to same class in two transactions
Original booking LHR GLA B 01DEC / GLA LHR B 10 DEC
1st Changed booking - outbound sector LHR GLA B 06DEC / GLA LHR B 10 DEC
2nd Changed booking - inbound sector LHR GLA B 06DEC / GLA LHR B 11 DEC
Amount payable: £30 per transaction = £60 plus any difference in fare.

Any change is subject to availability in the applicable fare class. In the event of a change being made, the original cancellation charge will apply if the changed ticket is subsequently cancelled. Tickets booked in B and H class remain non-refundable. If the difference in fare is lower, the fee is still payable and there is no refund of the fare difference. The examples above are for illustration purposes only.
