Have I been done?

Well since me and the girlfriend has finished i went to get a refund on her ticket in ballymeana. They told me that because I was issued with an E’ticket that you cant get a refund or even a name change, it doesnt say on the sheet about this nor was I told. Bad luck for me or do I have a leg to stand on getting £560 back

Eva B class tickets are non-endorsable and non-reroutable, but can be date changed (often with no charge) or refunded (for a fee). Refund only applies if ticket completely unused (eg, you can’t refund the return after flying the outbound leg). Normally loads of other restrictions relating to date, route etc, but that won’t worry you…

Be warned that it may take 90+ days to get a refund…

Amazingly cheap for a ticket with such a high degree of flexibility, to be honest!

It is one way though, seen it on STA travel. I have never flown on a big plane so im not aware of what booking class is good or not. I take it B is good then :diablo:

Not sure what CIB is, however a B fare is in most instances refundable.

How on earth did you manage to find a ticket from the UK to Australia for that price, let alone in such a high booking class?

As far as i am aware if it is for a medical reason they have to issue some form of refund. Id go see your Dr if u know what im saying. 😉

That is an issue for your travel insurance, not the airline.

If you have a non-refundable ticket, you have a non-refundable ticket. End of story. If you had wanted a ticket you could refund you should have requested a refundable ticket and paid the extra money to provide yourself with the reassurance that if your circumstances changed you could get your money back.

That is why the price difference is there, you are paying for an insurance policy basically. If you opt to take the cheap ticket, then you opt out of the insurance policy and the protection it affords you.

I dont see how the price should reflect a refund to be honest.

In simple words, for the sake of the example:

If a full fare, refundable ticket is $1000, and you paid only $500, there is a good chance that you bought a ticket with limitations. That means, under others, that you most likely can’t change dates, or have it refunded. (Unless there are medical reasons, as said)

Check your ticket, you bave a letter defining the booking class on it.
Here some info on them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travel_class

Sorry, just saw you are going to Australia. In that case £560 is a VERY cheap fare and most definitely will not be refundable.

THIS would suggest that you can get a refund, good luck!:D

That will be subject to the ticket conditions however. I would be hugely surprised if a £500 ticket to BKK was refundable.

You should be able to get your taxes back though and they should amount to around £75-£150 after admin fees.

£560 is a pretty cheap ticket for Asia (Bangkok I presume?)

If you wanted a refundable one you would have been paying well in excess of £1k for the privilige.

You have a problem if it is a non-refundable ticket, which airline?
