Am I really out $1600 - Jet Star

[Archipelago]

^ Erm, pretty sure that footy99's post about a hypothetical pepsi debacle was a tongue in cheek reference to the OP's story...

Why would you waste 6 hours on the phone? If you still have the bottle of pepsi can't you take it back, get a refund, and purchase at the new price? Takes a few minutes.

(at least you can do the above with coles, safeway and aldi, I'm guessing IGA has a similar policy)

I think it was a joke, Joyce.

Sorry, Archipelago. I hadn't seen your post when I made mine.

Now THAT's showing your age !

Now, now.
Play nicely.
And how did YOU recognise it as an age-give-away?

No probs! I loved the "joke joyce" ref

So it seems that not ALL AFFers are tiny tots!?

My wife likes to see a bit of grey on the head of the pilot at the pointy end (and on her husband - she equates that with experience), so I can happily admit to remembering watching Graham Kennedy and Rosie Sturgess as a small child growing up in country Gippsland.

I was too young to be allowed to watch them.

Yup no refund. In fact no airline would give you a refund of the difference. And a LCC definitely would not.

While not a straight out refund, some airlines do honour lower fares. US airways is an example... you can change to a lower fare if it becomes available on the same flight, and have the balance converted to a voucher for future travel on US. Jetblue is an example of a LCC that has the same policy, for a $75 change fee.

In my experience, I booked online with jetstar in first day with a full payment. Then the airfare became cheaper in 2nd day online.
I called CS, but unlucky I couldn't get the different for refund. According to Jetstar's CS, it was simple that you paid under the acceptance of the condition.

He was having a go at me. That last phrase is mine exactly as posted earlier in thread.

It was quite clearly a dig at JohnK's post up thread.

Really making you suffer on this one, MT!

Nope

You'd take the victory with the pepsi at the supermarket and walk away happy you'd 'beaten' the system. Not spend 6 hours on the phone for no result.

I understand the OP's issue and their frustration. Not a lot they can do about it though.

Oh sneaky! :mrgreen:
