Refund on "I" booking class?
Hi!
I'm new at LAN. I want to purchase a SCL-IPC-SCL on I class (J cabin) and LAN.com website says that it is fully refundable but ITA says that this fare is not refundable at all. Any suggestions?
I need to be sure before booking that this fare is fully refundable so if anyone have any clue...
Thanks!

There are a myriad of I fares. I've had them anywhere from fully refundable, to $200 penalty for refund, to non-refundable. You need to know the full fare basis of the ticket that you are about to purchase, i.e., INRX000, ILMNOP, INOOOFU, etc.

Have a similar question about an H class fare, in this case HSA3.
My ticket says it doesn't allow refunds before or on the same day of the flight. Allows refunds after the flight's departure date at no extra charge.
Does this mean I can get a refund on these two portions of the booking (it's a SA Lanpass booking) if I don't fly?
I will stil have enough legs on my South America Pass.
Sorry, not that familiar with LAN's policies and a couple of friends in Madrid have had a hell of a time getting refunds out of them even where clearly valid..

Yes, sometimes getting a refund processed can be a life changing experience, sometimes not.
