Between \u20ac6 and \u20ac14. That's what Volotea<\/a> <\/strong>asked its passengers for a supplement to compensate for the soaring price of kerosene. A supplement discreetly named \"Fair Travel Promise,\" which the company justified as follows during a booking: \"\u00a0At Volotea<\/span>Instead of applying fixed fuel surcharges which only increase the price of your ticket, we link them to the actual market price. The price of your booking can be adjusted 7 days before departure, up to \u20ac14 per passenger per flight. And, if the fuel price falls below the base price defined at the time of your booking, we will refund you the difference. With our Fair Travel Promise, you only pay what is absolutely necessary for your flights: no more, no less. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make it easier to swallow, all bookings then included Flex Protection at no extra charge in exchange. This allowed all passengers, regardless of booking class, to modify flights up to 4 hours before departure without modification fees or even cancel their booking and receive a refund in credit. This measure has in fact been maintained despite the abolition of the post-surcharge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
