Overview

• Rafael and Maggie Karoulla arrived at London Gatwick on June 29 only to learn their easyJet tickets were dated June 2026 instead of 2025.
• They discovered the mistake when online check-in was unavailable and promptly rebooked seats for £70 each on a flight that evening.
• The pair originally paid about £100 each for the unintended 2026 bookings, which they now expect to forgo using.
• The incident illustrates how airlines’ advance-booking windows and digital check-in safeguards can expose scheduling errors before boarding.
• Rafael says he will now meticulously review travel confirmations to ensure ticket dates align with his plans.
