When I called Travelocity, they told me the ticket was non-refundable but couldn't offer me more information, and suggested to call ANA but it needs to be during the normal business hours. I am a little panic at this point, am I going to lose the full value of this itinerary? Who really have the say?
This language below is from my itinerary, and it is not very clear about the change policy.
Change Policy
Ticket changes may incur penalties and/or increased fares. Some tickets do not allow changes. In addition to increased fares, if allowed, changes may be subject to fees/penalties (fees/penalties vary based on factors such as airline, market, and the applicable fare rules, and may be $150 or more for domestic flights and $200 or more for international flights, plus a $40 reissue fee from Travelocity; additionally, some airlines only allow the residual value of cancelled tickets to be used for future travel). If allowed, changes may be required to be made prior to departure. If you fail to fly any segment of your itinerary, some airlines will automatically cancel the remainder of your flights and they will lose all value; no further changes or refunds will be allowed. For further information contact your airline.
Cancellation Policy
You can cancel your reservation within 24 hours of booking without penalty. Otherwise, tickets are non-refundable.
The change policy does indeed seem to be very general, and does not contain any information about your specific booking. If you can look up your booking on the ANA website you should be able to see the specific rules. If you have the ANA reservation number or the ticket number you can check on the site. Alternatively if you can give the booking class (not class of travel) it is possible to find the specific rules.
Generally ANA is correct, it is the travel agency that sold you the ticket that should assist with the rebooking.
