Thread: How can i make a complaint about airline prices?

BA want to charge me 3000 pounds for 2 adults and 2 children to fly return to London (flight time 5.5h). I think this a tad over the top as a friend of mine has just booked a 10 day stay in Bali with hotel, flights etc.. for less. Can i lodge a complaint with trading standards via email?

The best way to protest is to not buy them or support their company

i doubt you can complain, if that's the price then that's the price! it does seem rather steep, shop around at places like www.airlinenetworks.com or at any of the usual on line places.

the organizations that oversee the airlines.
thats where i would go to complain.

I agree with Insensitively Honest.

If they try to rip you off, why you should bother to complain. Just fly another airline.

Of course, if this the only connection to your destination, you don't have that option.

airfares depend on availability. there are many different prices available for one aircraft, depending on loads, minimum and maximum stay, destination, season, advance purchase... try changing the dates around to get a cheaper fare.. but BA makes its own price. it's your choice to buy it or not.

First you don't say from where.
Second, it looks like it is a ONE WAY, which is always more expensive than R/T.
Third, how long in advance before departure you got this price?
One month or more before departure is cheaper, last minute...pay full fare.
Fourth, if you don''t like it, don't fly BA.

I don't see how you can complain - they are telling you the orice up front before you buy and you are not forced to buy them.

Airline pricing is a mystery to me at the best of times - wait ten minutes and it will change. Stay over a Saturday and prices drop - why ?

In conclusion, I can't really see what you have to complain about. It's like complaning about the price of a Mercedes. If you don't want to pay it then buy a Mondeo.

Appears a few details are missing to give an answer to this one. But the price quoted looks more like Business class than economy, and therefore no complaints, people who fly Business or First Class don't ask how much they just sit back and enjoy the ride.

It's better to write to the national press with valid complaints.
