I am also assuming that your original ticket was "non-refundable."
Thanks in advance for your further help.
My trip was MAN-CDG-TUR on AF. My ticket was Business class, non-refundable. It was a tier point run
1. At the time, 9 March, the flights were still running. But AF was offering to reschedule or give a voucher.
UK government advice at that time was not to travel to Italy, so I phoned up and arranged a voucher.
This was a few days before countries started closing their borders and everything exploded, so I was able to reach a phone agent without much trouble.
2. The voucher was for the full amount that I paid.

Of course, a cash refund would be better. But the sum involved is £360. I'll take a chance that AF/KLM will be able to honour this further down the line.
