Yup I'm aware.

Examples of my understanding of the following fares:

Penalties

*special emergency rules

*subject to change at anytime

For travel on/after 01mar20 and on/before 31mar21

If travel on this fare component must commence by

Midnight on 31dec22.

Cancellations

Cancellations permitted for cancel/no-show.

Cancels applies for ticketing on/before 31jul20.

For travel on/after 01mar20 and on/before 31mar21

If all travel is completed by midnight on 30dec22

To me, this reads like a fully refundable fare in premium economy.
