Beware of Volotea’s sneaky fuel surcharge

Our take

Heads up, travelers! Volotea has recently introduced a sneaky fuel surcharge of 14€ on tickets that have already been booked and paid for, catching many off guard just seven days before their flight. This charge, disguised under the “Promise for a Fair Price” label, is a response to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. If you decide to cancel, be aware that you won’t receive a refund—only a voucher for future use.

Volotea is now applying a fuel surcharge of 14€ on tickets already booked and paid,but they only notify you about it 7 days before your flight . This “measure” is in response with the conflict in the Middle-East and the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz allegedly…

If you are going to book with them, you will be hit with an additional unexpected charge of 14 Euros per person just before flying. This is hidden in their Conditions and has been baptised as “Promise for a Fair price” or something like that. A cancelation will be offered to you but bear in mind that you get no refund—only a voucher for future use. Check your bookings carefully and spread the word so no one gets caught off guard. Spread the word !!!
