Icmeler Online Holiday Forum & Reviews - Turkey

Hi All,
Just had a bit of a shock, got a fuel surcharge letter this morning from the company we booked our holiday with. For a party of 9 they wanted over £260 for fuel surcharges even though we had a zero balance because the holiday was all paid for - we thought.

Was about to ring up and pay, as we still want to go to Icmeler, then I thought of looking at their terms and conditions. Apparently, holiday companies cannot increase or add surcharges within 30 days of departing.

Rang them up and they have agreed to cancel the surcharge.

If you do get this letter, check to see if their Terms & Conditions allow for this and if it's within 30 day of your holiday.

Cheers John - now looking forward to a few extra effes with my fuel surcharge money

Hi John,we are going with one of the travel agents that are adding surcharges but so far we havnt received a letter we are going on 3rd of Aug wich is less than 30 days.Does this mean we wont have to pay now?heres hoping Avril

We fully paid our holiday for 8/8/08 on 31/5/08 and this morning received a invoice for each of us to pay £31.00 each.31 days to our departure.Can i do anything about this?Scottravel is the company

Perhaps i will leave it until tomorrow and say i only received the letter that will make it 30 days

Hi, It goes on the date of the latest invoice or surcharge letter. Best go on their website or even ring up your agents and ask them what their terms and conditions are.

Cheers John

Scottravel's website states that "no charges will be implemented within 30 days of departure" so you should be fairly safe there. If they try their luck, point that out to them.

Due to legal reasons involved here, I am locking this until Admin says yes or no it can or can't continue

Please continue via PM till we hear from him

thanks
