For all Tickets issued/reissued on/after 01JUL20:
A new USD $5.00 "Booking Service Charge" per sector will be assessed on all flights ticketed under BR/B7 codes, unless your origin is HKG or a B7 domestic flight. The BSC is a fee assessed by BR for using their reservation system/ticketing portal and for BR being able to help you do any changes/cancellations (versus a third-party issuer, in which case you and the third-party have to figure it out).
- This BSC is nonrefundable, even in the case of death/illness or any other circumstances.
- Each time you reissue, an additional BSC will be collected.
- This BSC is applies to all tickets, including stretcher, extra seats, Mileage Redemptions, Infant Fare tickets, and all free/reduced fare tickets.
- The BSC will be refunded if you refund your ticket within 24 hours for a booking at least 7 days out, per DOT's rules (USA origin pax only)
- Should your flight be involuntarily cancelled and the total amount of your ticket is unused, you will be refunded the BSC when you cancel your reservation. However, if your ticket is partially used, you will not be refunded the BSC.
- The fee will be collected under YR.
Example: I have booked a roundtrip SFO-TPE-SIN-TPE-SFO. The BSC will be a total of USD $20.00/person.
Sounds like a ripoff, just free money for BR!
