Yes, I want to go for the refund.
However, because I bought a cheap ticket (it is long haul, so not
that cheap) it was
changeable, but not
refundable.
They have bumped me off the outward flight (their website shows that the flight is still going, but at a huge increase in price, way more than pre-covid), but my return flight is still valid.
So, I am thinking, that if I request a refund, they will refund me a teeny weeny amount (for the outward flight), but, because I effectively cancel the return flight, myself, they will not refund that portion of it.
Hope that makes sense.
I have not received a reply to my query yet (although acknowledged), and if I try and phone I am put on hold for ever until it cuts off.
I clearly remember in my company law classes that if someone makes an offer (a cheap flight), and the offer is accepted (I pay up), and the supplier agrees to the offer (gives me a ticket), then it’s a done deal.
So, as I see it, by international law, they should refund me in full. I’m just scared right now to try it.
Anyway, yeah, the camino is always there, and I’ll be going again anyway in April (maybe
, still got to sort that ticket out
).
