refundable taxes on non-refundable tickets) on the return and was told that I can't get anything back, since my ticket will then be repriced as a one-way, which, of course is more expensive than an RT, and so the new cost > refundable taxes = I get $0 back.
Does that sound right to everyone? On one hand, it makes sense. On the other, I remember getting a tax refund on the return of a mixed P/K TATL (DUB-YEG-DUB), and a one-way P should definitely have been greater than that round-trip...
You're right, you should get some back, especially in the YQ if high.
So, when I cancelled a R/T YULCDG, they explained to me that the change penalty was only applicable to the base fare. So even if my penalty was supposed to be $300.00, they only charged me $100 (base fare) to refund my bro 's ticket, and refunded everything else.
So I am going too go ahead and assume that if the YQ and taxes of the one was is smaller than the return, you should get refunded the difference.
Just call AC and hope for the best I guess.
