GEILER PREIS. aber bis mai wird das wohl nichts, vor allem nicht in eco, leider kann man bei lot nicht kostenlos umbuchen, leider
Hallo Markus,
man kann bei LOT zwar umbuchen, allerdings wird dann Preisdifferenz minus 200PLN berechnet (ca. 45€).
Aber klar, ganz risikofrei ist es nicht, da man die Preisentwicklung nicht vorhersehen kann. Allerdings kann man bis Ende 2021 umbuchen – sollte es bis dahin einen Flug für bis zu ca. 305€ geben, wäre die Umbuchung praktisch kostenlos.
Jedenfalls danke, dass du das Thema angesprochen hast, ist ja auch wichtig.
