Just tried making a few dummy bookings.... Seems better than ex-US where we cough up $200.</font>
With all due respect, you are not comparing like-for-like: to get the cheapest T-fares you need to book a couple of months out.

So, for the sake of argument, a couple dummy bookings for 1 week in March at the lowest WT+ T fare shown in FE:

LHR-JFK 4th-11th March 2003

£680.20

CHARGES FOR CHANGES AND CANCELLATIONS
CANCELLATIONS ANY TIME TICKET IS NON-REFUNDABLE. CHANGES ANY TIME CHANGES NOT PERMITTED.


JFK-LHR 3rd-10th March 2003

$738.70

CHARGES FOR CHANGES AND CANCELLATIONS
CANCELLATIONS BEFORE DEPARTURE CHARGE USD 200.00 FOR CANCEL/REFUND.
CHANGES TO FLIGHT/S OTHER THAN THE OUTBOUND TRANSATLANTIC FLIGHT &lt;sniped: $200 plus any fare difference&gt;


These are the lowest published (specials aside) T-class ex-UK and ex-US resepctively. Not only is the US fare 2/3 the price of the UK one, the cancellation/change conditions are much more lenient. This shows not only on these WT+ fares but on many discount-economy tickets too (not that any of us every purchase them of course )

P.S. glad everything worked out for you fbg!!
