I ask because we are trying to grab seats on an inbound leg of our family holiday and managed to get hold of some last night, but would now like to try again this evening on a flight a day later (I have JUST enough avios for the second pricing option, not full 400K redemption). If I book the second option in the list they show me, is it still refundable (as I’ll then have two inbound and will need to cancel one)?
The mixture of Avios and cash you choose for a redemption doesn't make any difference to the refundability of the booking. It's refundable until 24 hours before departure, subject to a £35 p/p service charge (believe this is charged as $50 for US-domiciled accounts). You'll see this mentioned on the summary page when you book.
