I wonder if anyone has any advice on whether we are being told the truth by our travel agents or not...

We booked 4 WTP tickets from EDI-DFW; the travel agent charged us approx £2600 each for our tickets.

The problem - of course - came when we wanted to cancel one of these tickets, it turns out that the tickets are non-changeable and non-refundable. The agent told us flexible tickets (in W) for the same trip would have cost about another £1500 each...

Investigating on the BA web site - fully refundable/changeable (W class) tickets for the same journey are approx. £2400.

However, does what we are being told make any sense - can you buy a restricitive ticket for £2600 (including the travel agents fee) when the fully flexible ticket (on-line) costs £2400?

(I know we should have checked; but the reason the company uses the travel agent is that they are supposed to do all the work for us!)
