Listening to Edghill's weekly slating on GMR
Just looking for a little advice.

I stupidly bought my flights from Mcr to Paris in advance (I know, I know)

They're direct flights. Leaves mcr at 6 on the Friday evening and comes back on the Sunday evening.

They're with airfrance so it's a free name change!

Just wondering if anyone has done the same or if not what would you suggest doing to sell them? (I don't have Facebook or twitter)

I paid £500, how much would you sell em for /what's realistic ?

Cheers
 
Go on a dipper forum and sell them for what you paid for them or around the price they are going for now.

Banking on Citeh not fucking up in the CL? You fool!
 
I‘m in the same position (but from Heathrow), perhaps you have different ticket terms to me but Air France would not allow any name change at all (only correction of misspelling, like two characters I think). Mine was “non refundable“ but they allowed me to either get a cash refund on just the taxes or get a voucher for the whole value. Took the voucher, lasts 1 year but can only be used in the name of the original booking. looks as though you can use on KLM too so more destinations.
 
Same no name change allowed but got a voucher for the price I paid that I converted to cash. That was with their “free cancellation” offer that ended in April I think
 
Why won’t airlines let folk change the name on tickets?? Why do they give a fuck who’s arsehole is sat in the seat?? Does it matter, it’s not like it’s done with a biro ffs ..!!
I can only think that’s it’s so people don’t buy loads of tickets and sell em on for a profit ?

I think all or at least most airlines deliberately overbook flights, working on the assumption that a small percentage won’t turn up for each flight for various reasons.

By making it inconvenient to get refunds/ transfer tickets, it increases the likelihood that more people won’t show up and they can oversell flights without having to bump anyone.

That’s just an assumption by the way. I have no insider knowledge.

Rinse a plastic cult member for as much as you can get
 
Has the O. P. tried FB, maybe see if there's any Liverpool fan groups he could join? You probably won't get all your money back. But, half a loaf etc etc.
