so how much of my money will be refunded or can be used to book new flights later?
are the taxes and fees not refunded?

Thanks.

You'll have nothing refunded unless you booked a refundable fare. From what you wrote above, it's all going to wind up as a credit. Y

u will have a Future Flight Credit (FFC) of $6,354.70 to use for travel that begins before February 17, 2024.
