Clase Turista T (Unrestricted Economy): Free changes and refunds.
Clase Business U: Changeable and refundable for a 25€ fee.

Oneworld Flights or itinerary containing OW flights: no changes or refunds possible.

With the merger I thought that they were going to follow BA policies, where all rewards are flexible, obviously they didn’t. So in the case of oneworld flights (other than IB), it is worth transferring Avios over to BAEC and book through them. The fees are going to be the same and your ticket becomes flexible.

thanks, such a nice summary, certainly impossible to find on the IB site. should be in a sticky here.

looks like that no-refund oneworld policy is going to bite hard on some friends of mine, unfortunately.
