So more Avios but less YQ. But for a better product( the leg from Sin- LHR is showing as a 2-4-2 777 for example)
1. Can I cancel my 241 return leg whilst retaining the outbound or would I have to lose that? There are no other outbound dates showing as available when I want to go.
2. I assume I would get approx half the YQ back?
3. Would the YQ be recalculated at 'new' rates?
4. Any other issues anyone can foresee?
Thanks in anticipation
1. Yes. I think this will be okay if you ring.
2. you would probably get far less than half back, as the the majority of the taxes and charges is driven by the LHR departure, right?
3. I think it would be. Not ideal. May depend on the agent.
4. Can’t foresee any other issues. Personally I just booked the sale fares on A* for £1250 return from DUB to SYD next Jan/Feb. I’m not convinced Avios flights are good value to Oz.
