Iberia Refunds
I have a Business class ticket booked with Iberia.
I needed to make a change to it and called them to change it, turns out the ticket is a special fare and no changes are allowed.
If I cancel the ticket with Iberia can I claim a refund back for the taxes ?

You won't get much back.
I'm surprised however to hear of a Business Class fare that can't be changed at all, even through paying a change fee. Another trick is to pay a bunch extra to upgrade the ticket to a more flexible booking code.

hmmmm so its a ticket leaving the UK.
LGW - MAD - LGW in their business class. I called a few times and was told non-refundable and no changes allowed on the ticket.
How can I upgrade the ticket to a higher class ? would that work to then have it refunded ?

You should get taxes refunded though.
