********* business practice

Having been a loyal Kulula customer for many years and someone who flys frequently with them i am very disappointed to catch them out on an unfair business practice. I originally booked flights to CT at a total cost after my Vitality discount of R6 450.72. When i called them to change the flight to a day earlier they told me that there was a change cost per ticket of R300 which i accepted. They then informed me that there would be an additional charge for the difference in fare between my original booking and the new flights i wanted to change to. <br> They said that this would be an additional R400 per ticket. When i went online and tried to book the new flights myself, i could in fact book the new flights for cheaper than the original flights. When i asked them why they were charging me the additional R400 they told me their system is set up that way and its a different fare charge. This is unaceptable and clearly an unfair business practice. How can they charge me R400 plus a change fee of R300 for tickets that are advertised on their website for more than R400 less? <br> <br> I am extremely disapointed in Kulula and will in future fly with another airliner. You have lost a good client

Hello Niel Kasselmann,

Thank you for your post.

All our fares are subject to availability at the time of booking and not all fares are the same. In the event of changes, customers will be charged our standard admin fee as well as a possible upgrade fee if the same fare is not available.

The change fees vary as it depends on the specific fare booked. If that same fare is not available, the ticket will need to be upgraded to the next available fare, as is the case for your booking. This is a standard practice on all airlines.

Kind Regards,
Nazley - CR
