Warning: easyjet flexi fares do not allow ANY route changes, even for a fee
As I learned today after spending 20 minutes on the phone, buried deep in the Easyjet T&C is the following:
9.2.2 If You buy an easyJet Flexi You will be able to make an unlimited number of free changes to the Flight time in Your original Booking, subject to the changed Flight time falling within a fixed 4 week time window (starting 1 week before the original travel date and ending 3 weeks after the original travel date). Changes to your easyJet Flexi Booking are subject to seat availability on alternative Flights. easyJet Flexi Bookings do not allow route changes (i.e. You are not entitled to change the departure or destination airports of Your original Booking). You must make any change to Your easyJet Flexi Booking at least two hours before the departure time of Your original Booking, otherwise You will forfeit Your ability to make a change. In the end, I'm not out of pocket anything, as this is just going to get passed along to my client since they were the ones who caused the change in schedule, but I did want to warn others that it appears that you're almost always better off booking a traditional fare and then paying the change fee if you need to change your ticket. |

I would demur, if you're not likely to want to change the route, but might well want to change to a flight on a different day / at a different time. (Bear in mind that, with a flexibility window of -1 week to +3 weeks, it's possible to 'flex for the best flexi price', though you can't change the flight until 24 hours after purchase.) Ultimately it all depends on one's individual circumstances, uncertain as they may be, when it comes to weighing up the options and possible costs. |

What I find truly odd is that I was more than willing to give them an extra 80 euros (48 euro change fee and ~30 euro increase in fare), more than 50% of my original ticket, and yet easyjet's policy means they don't want it. Their loss, really, since it ends up I'm still going to be able to use the original ticket (after a complimentary date change) by changing around some of my ground transport. |
This has changed.
You can now change the route. Click on "Change flight" and then use the drop down boxes for "From" and "To". You get the value of what you originally paid as credit, so if the flight you are transferring to is more expensive then you have to pay the extra. |
