Still no refund over 3 months later

I booked 4 return flights to Greece for July 2020. Like most others here, they were cancelled and EasyJet issued a refund to Directline flights on 29/7/20. I still have not received any refund. I understand that due to the Covid situation everything takes longer, but to wait this long is ridiculous. No word from Directline flights

Mr Duleavy contacted us for the first time on 9 November 2020. We replied, located his refund and passed it on the very next day.

They are a bunch of crooks who pass themselves off as Easyjet then disappear with your money when you need to contact.The police need to investigate them for fraud.

We did not disappear with Mr Chilton's money. He requested a refund from easyJet the same day as posting this review. We received it on 9/11/20 and refunded Mr Chilton the very next day.

Absolutely disgusted paid for flights…

Absolutely disgusted paid for flights from London Gatwick through direct flights leaving on 29/5/2020 flight no K18V9XV using easyJet as the carrier due to the situation the flight was cancelled revived an email in June regarding a refund saying the amount would automatically be dealt and paid into my account that’s the last I’ve heard totally disgusted direct flights hold your head in shame and the trusting public use an alternative booking company

When Mr Stewart contacted us two weeks later, we located and passed on his refund. It really helps to get in touch, as we're always ready to assist.

I had been waiting for my Ryanair…

I had been waiting for my Ryanair refund To go in to my account beginning of September. Have found out was sent to direct line even though I thought I was booking direct. The refund Ryanair sent back to them is £60 less than I paid. Are they going to charge me even more for ‘processing’ returning my refund ?????? Still waiting to get a response from direct line. Since posting this Directline have responded promptly and returned my refund. Thank you to their customer services

Refund claim submitted 20/04/20 still waiting

Like many others on this site, I am struggling to get a refund for my flight which was cancelled for the 06/04/20. Booking reference EZ43313. I find it hard to believe that there has been insufficient time to process the application which was made on the 20/04/20. Easy Jet confirmed the refund to Direct Line months ago. I have waited patiently but with no avail. I have now tried phoning and emailing But have received no response. However I note that they are responding to comments posted here so let’s hope this gets a response too.
Given the Stress, delay,inconvenience and anxiety this has caused me as a pensioner I would expect compensation from the organisation, not the withholding of £50 on the pretext of an admin fee.

We assisted Ms Taylor and always responded. easyJet were a bit slow to refund - understandable given the height of a global pandemic. We refunded Ms Taylor on 27/7/20, within 4 working days of receipt, and nearly three months before this review!

My flight was cancelled because of…

My flight was cancelled because of covid. It took me 3 months and several emails and wasted time to get a refund. In addition, they didn't refund the full amount and they didn't say in advance they wouldn't. When I booked, it looked I book directly with Easyjet , as I put Easyjet in the search engine. It turned out, I booked it with Direct line and despite they told me now that it was an admin fee, I didn't see it at the booking or any warning that it won't be refunded.

My holiday flight was cancelled (Covid 19)

My holiday flight was cancelled. Months later I sent a reminder to this company that I was waiting for a refund. EasyJet had refunded my money to them but they did not bother to send it on to me. Probably hoping I wouldn't pursue it.
The refund was minus their fees (£50). Thinking back to the booking, I thought I was booking with EasyJet direct. Computer chicanary by this shoddy company took charge of my booking process and overcharged me. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN TO ME AGAIN so others please be warned DO NOT USE DIRECTLINE FLIGHTS, you are paying them for nothing.

QUICK AND HELPFUL

Due to the covid travel restrictions we have now had to change our flights to Majorca twice. On both occasions the staff at Direct Flights could not have been more helpful. They responded quickly on both occasions to our requests and it seems rare these days to find such high quality customer service. I am normally not one to leave reviews, but on this occasion I was determined to let others know what a great service Direct Flights provide to their customers.

MYSTERY…

Like so many others reviewing here I had no idea I had booked with Directline as all my correspondence appeared to come from Easyjet. Flight cancelled by Easyjet I allowed a good time to pass beyond their promise of vouchers. When I chased Easyjet they had no record of booking but said money refund had been made to a different card number. After some investigation found the recipients were Multicom. These in turn are Directline! Wrote to them and got immediate response. The refund that I know Easyjet had sent to them on July 17th had 'just arrived' on 2nd September. It came through very quickly after that. I paid originally in Sterling, the refund from Easyjet to Directline was in Euros, my final payment iin Sterling and £18 less. Very difficult times for everybody in the travel industry so not complaining as such - JUST MYSTIFIED!

Terrible company

They don't do anything other than make your life harder.
You cannot get hold of them, and you cannot manage your flight booking on the easyjet website.
A real scam!

Booked through easy jet and was taken to the direct line page waited over 3 months for my refund to be given for it to be £50 pounds short over a service fee !! When emailing about this I am been told it is in the terms of condition of cancellation even tho the flights were not cancelled by myself, because apparently they need to pay their staff with my hard earn money . Absolutely disgusting I would highly recommend not booking with these - K1KCS87

Did think I was booking with Easyjet but that's an other matter, flights got cancelled, I followed the instructions I was given in an e-mail from Directline over cancelled flights and contacted them four weeks later as instructed, the money I was owed went back on to my card three days later, so can't really complain seeing all the turmoil that has been going on.

Dear Bill. Thank you for your vote of confidence! The work of chasing refunds from reluctant and uncontactable airlines is relentless, very time-consuming and frankly rather depressing, but our team wants to do their best for our customers. I'ts nice for this to be appreciated.

Dear Mr Gough. You say you've been 'passed from pillar to post', but I'm afraid I cannot find a single email from you. The best place to get in touch with is us, your agent. Please simply reply to any email we've sent you, and we will get your refund sorted.

21/08/20 update. We have now located the refund from easyJet and passed it on to you. Should you ever need to contact us in the future, the quickest and most direct way is simply to reply to any email we have ever sent you. Thank you.
