But assuming it was 218€ base fare (?) + 170€ carrier surcharge then you would be looking at a potential 291€ refund. BA also have an involuntary refund amount but in this case it may be less.
For the 88 EUR it should not come to the 75% calculation - agreed, it's what BA has to pay to government / airports anyway. But I'm still wondering why they keep renaming it every 2 years?? i.e Fuel surcharge to International surcharge, Carrier surcharge, safety surcharge, or any other surcharges they would like to rename it...
