Tips for lower fares

If you can be flexible on your dates and times of travel our brief guide to finding the cheapest fares may be of help. The guide is by no means definitive and is only meant as a rough rule of thumb.

International Routes
More low fares available on flights between Monday and Thursday
Domestic UK Routes
Avoid Monday mornings and Friday afternoons/evenings
Holidays
Try to avoid travel just before or after a major Bank Holiday, eg. Christmas or Easter

Some routes have lower fares which require a minimum stay of two nights or a Saturday night. Book as far in advance as possible.

How to pay

Payment for bookings can be made using a debit or credit card. Flybe does not accept cash or cheque as payment for changes made to booked itineraries. Exceptions to this are

walk-ups at outstations
changes at the desk
excess baggage payments
bookings through the Flybe Groups department
Business Express customers

The currency used in your booking will be determined by the origin of your journey however all funds will be debited in pounds sterling.

Card charges

To defray the substantial administration and financial services costs we incur when processing credit and debit cards a handling fee applies to each passenger per one way flight. Even allowing for these small charges, our fares still represent the best value for money.

Listed below are the costs associated with credit/debit card transactions. There are no credit/debit handling fee charges for infants that do not occupy a seat.

Credit Card
GBP2.50 / EUR3.50 / CHF6.00 (per person per flight)
Minimum credit card transaction fee £4.98 per booking.
Debit Card & Solo, Maestro or Switch
GBP0.99 / EUR1.50 / CHF2.50 (per person per flight)
Minimum debit card transaction fee £1.50 per booking.
Electron
No charge.

Notes: Minimum credit and debit card charges will only apply to flight bookings, itinerary changes and name changes. Credit and debit card charges are non refundable. If for any reason your chosen method of payment is declined your booking and right to travel will be cancelled.

Tickets

Bookings made through the this internet site or the Flybe Customer Call Centre will be made, where possible, on an e-ticket (electronic ticket). This means you will not be issued a paper ticket for travel.

Refunds

We do not sell refundable fares. Any tax redemption on unused tickets will incur a £25 administration fee per person per sector.
