Subject to the 24-hour Refund Policy (click here for details), any tax redemption (namely Air Passenger Duty) on unused tickets will incur a £25.00 (EUR35.00, CHF40.00) Tax Redemption Fee per person per sector.
Your ability to claim a refund depends on the ticket type you bought. As a general rule Flybe’s tickets are non-refundable, but certain tickets do allow you to change your booking. The three ticket types we have are Just Fly, Get More and All-In.
We understand that sometimes things change and you need to alter your plans. This is why we have three different ticket types. The different tickets allow you to make different changes to your booking. More information is available here. Please carefully consider which ticket type is suitable to your needs.
If you have an All-In Ticket Type (details here) you can make certain changes to your Ticket. Including changing the date or time of your flight even at the last minute, free of charge, giving you ultimate freedom and peace of mind, should your plans change.
If you have a Get More Ticket Type (details here) you can make certain changes to your Ticket. You can change route and flight as often as you like – all you will pay is any difference in fare between the old ticket and the new. On the day changes can be made to change your flight to an earlier or later flight that same day at no extra cost, giving you greater flexibility too.
If you have a Just Fly Ticket Type (details here) and chose to purchase Flybe Flex you can make certain ticket changes to the date, time and route subject to you paying any applicable change fee. Details of the Ticket Types and fees are here.
Something has gone wrong and I need to change my Booking, what do I do?
In the event that a serious circumstance beyond your control prevents you from being able to fly, examples include you being seriously ill or injured or there being a death of your spouse or civil partner or within your immediately family or of someone named on your Booking and you can provide proof of the same and proof of your identity – in this case you should call our Contact Centre at least four hours’ ahead of the Flight’s scheduled departure time in order for us to try to assist you.

then provided you give us proof of the same, can prove your identity, and contact our Contact Centre at least four hours’ ahead of the Flight’s scheduled departure time, we will agree to allow the Name Change without the payment of the relevant Tariff.
Sometimes we work with other airlines to give you even greater options for travel. When this happens our obligations to you may change. The most common ways we work with other airlines are: Franchises, Code Shares and Charters.
The Conditions of Carriage for flights operated by Stobart Air with flight number between 6000 - 6299 can be found here.
The Conditions of Carriage for flights operated by Eastern Airways with flight number between 7600 - 7899 can be found here.
The Conditions of Carriage for all flights operated by Blue Islands can be found here.
Sometimes we work with other airlines who put our BE code on their Flight or vice versa. We can then sell tickets for the same flight under our BE code or the other airlines code. These are known as “Code Shares”. What this means for you is that even if you have a reservation with us and hold a ticket with our name or airline designator code for the flight, another carrier may operate the aircraft for your Flight.
The operating carrier is the one who operates the flight with the aircraft and crew. The marketing carrier is the one who sells the tickets for the flight, they don’t operate it.
If the operating carrier and the marketing carrier are not the same you have the right to address a complaint or to make a claim for damages against either. If the name or code of another air carrier is indicated on your Ticket, (not solely stated as “Operated by”) that air carrier is your contracting air carrier.
If you are on a charter Flight, a separate charterer is responsible for your Flight. The charterer will let you know via the Booker which airline will be operating your Flight either: at the time you make a reservation; or if arranged later, as soon as reasonably practicable. They should also let you know the terms and conditions that apply to you. This is because we do not have direct responsibility to you. Therefore our conditions of carriage only apply to you to the extent we agree with the charterer. It is the responsibility of the charterer to make you aware which Conditions apply, their Carrier Regulations, and to put this information in your Ticket or any other contract you have with the charterer. We are only liable to you to the extent we agree with the charterer in our contract with them.
WHEN MIGHT YOU NOT ALLOW ME ON THE FLIGHT?
Safety is our utmost concern for all our passengers, crew and pilots. As such, there may be circumstances where we may refuse to carry you.
if arrangements to carry them have not been properly made and confirmed by us before check-in. This requirement is to enable us to check resources are available to assist such passengers.
we have given you a banning notice and you have bought your ticket while the ban applies. Please note, if you try to travel while a banning notice is in force, we will refuse to carry you and you will not be entitled to an involuntary fare refund. By a banning notice we mean a written notice we have given to you telling you that you are banned from being carried on our route network. (This means you are banned from travelling on all flights we operate.) This notice will give the date when the ban comes into force and the period for which it applies. A banning notice will also ask you not to buy a ticket or ask or allow anyone to do so for you.
WHEN I BUY MY TICKET WHAT OTHER CHARGES MIGHT THERE BE?
When you pay for your ticket you will be able to see in the booking flow any additional taxes, fees and charges that apply.
You are required to pay any applicable taxes, fees and charges imposed at any time by government, other authority or the operator of an airport, or carrier. These will be payable in addition to your fare. You will be advised of them at the time you buy your Ticket and these will normally be shown separately on the Ticket.
The taxes, fees and charges imposed on air travel are constantly changing and can be imposed after the date your Ticket is issued. If there is an increase in any of the taxes, fees and charges you will be obliged to pay it. Similarly, in the event the taxes, fees and charges you have paid for are abolished or reduced so that they no longer apply to you, or a lesser amount is due, you will be entitled to claim a refund from us subject to payment of the Tax Redemption Fee. More information here.
Similarly, if you do not use your Ticket or any part of it, you are entitled to claim a refund of any taxes, fees and charges relating to the unused part of the Ticket which you paid for. Such refund will be payable to you, less the Tax Redemption Fee. For more information click here.
WHAT IF WE DIDN’T PROVIDE WHAT YOU ORDERED?
In the unlikely event that you booked a reserved seat and we could not provide it, we would offer you a full refund for the cost of the reserved seat. As we don’t offer additional services ourselves you would need to take up any queries with the relevant providers e.g. car hire, hotels etc.
My luggage is lost or damaged or delayed. What do I do?
If your bag or any mobility equipment we carried for you is delayed at the airport or lost or damaged, please make your way directly to a Flybe representative within the baggage reclaim area of Arrivals. We shall ensure that we do everything possible to trace your items in the first instance; however, if it cannot be located within the airport, we will start the baggage tracing process and fill out a property irregularity report (PIR). It is really important that you do this before leaving the airport. There is more information here.
I’ve got special items in my Baggage which are valuable, what can I do?
If you have valuable items in your Baggage you can make a special declaration of value for them. If you wish to do so you must also pay a surcharge for the declaration. You must make the declaration in advance of your Flight at Check-In.
you do not pay the applicable surcharge.
We are entitled in our absolute discretion to impose a maximum cap for special declarations of value. We will advise you of this limit at Check-In, or if you call our Customer Contact centre well in advance of your Flight.
In the event the items over which you made a special declaration of value are damaged we can ask you to prove the actual value of the Damage or loss. This is to check whether the amount you declared was higher than the actual value of the items at the time of delivery and the cost of any Damage or loss.
We may refuse to accept a special declaration of value on Checked Baggage when a portion of the carriage is to be provided by another Carrier which does not offer the facility.
