Lower change and cancellation fees

Shareholder bookings also have reduced amendment and cancellation fees compared with brochure fares. The shareholder FAQ does not give the amounts.

What it takes

You need more than 1,000 Ordinary shares.

Exactly 1,000 shares is not enough

The issuer says “greater than 1,000”.

Before buyingA perk is a minor benefit of owning a share, not a reason to buy one. Share prices fall as well as rise, and dealing costs, spreads and tax can exceed a perk’s value. Unlisted shares may be difficult to sell. Check how transfers work and whether your broker supports the holding. Read about the risks.

Holding through a broker

The shareholder FAQ does not say whether nominee holdings qualify. Ask the company how it recognises your holding before relying on the discount.

Other conditions

Who else can use it
The shareholder’s partner can use both discounts.

How to claim

The shareholder FAQ does not state the booking route or proof requirements.

  1. 1. Ask before bookingUse the shareholder contact below to ask how to book and what proof you and your partner need. The ferry and Skybus terms say shareholders have separate conditions of carriage; ask for those terms before booking.
