easyJet guide to request a tax refund on an unused ticket
If you did not take your easyJet flight, you generally cannot automatically recover the full ticket price, especially if the 24-hour window after booking has passed. However, certain taxes or fees linked to a passenger who was not carried can sometimes be requested. The easyJet guide helps you prepare a clear request, distinguish the taxes from the ticket price and use a ready-to-adapt message template.
