OP: If you wish to get a refund of everything follow Plumber's advice in Post 4.
Do we know if Plumbers advice will actually work?
It would strike me as a very odd loophole; you can't get a refund within 22 days of travel, but you can change to a different flight that then does give you that right. The way you deal with purchased tickets is not the same, I know ... but there, you can change a date but you must fly within one year of the original date - you can't keep slipping a date by six months at a time, for example. Do we know if anyone has tried Plumber's trick, and had it work?
