In your case this is equal to 100.

The only additional information you could ask for is the fare bucket they have used, if you are really interested (like HLAROSW8). But you are quite lucky to get anything back, as the OW fare is often higher than the RT fare. Hence, I don't think that getting that information would help you dispute the 100.
Thanks again for the clarification. I already have the fare bucket, which is VLARRSW8, but have no clue to figure out what that means. Do you know where I can look it up?
