1) in answer to br0wntown - if it is part of the same PNRr/ticket and you decide in Tokyo that you will ‘accidentally’ miss the next flight - you will not receive any points or taxes back. There is a 24 hours-in-advance cancellation window, up to which time the $50 is applicable, with all points refunded.
2) dval44 - as stated above in this post. Agent is talking the aftermath of a vindaloo, if that’s what you’ve been told.
it’s a flat $50 / £30 uK (or 35 I forget) if you cancel more than 24 hours out.
As to free cancellation within 24 hours, this could be a DoT thing, if ticket was issued by US office, or because it originates in US. Have a look, UK-based so I don’t know. But $100 is a lie.
Thanks for the response,
Tofino87 .
Glad to know it's $50 usd max.
Though I take slight umbrage with calling my question "basic and...already covered" when your answer is that you do not know, and I would have to look into it. So that is precisely my question - does the U.S. dot rule apply here. If anyone knows, that would be helpful. Thanks.
