I booked a T fare for a quick flight to Florida several months ago. After my initial purchase, I decided to pay the difference to upgrade my ticket to FC (A Fare).
If I were to cancel my entire trip, would I receive a refund of my ENITRE fare (ie. the cost of the T fare PLUS the difference I made up to make it an A Fare), or would I be forced to "eat" the portion of my A fare that was originally booked as a nonrefundible ticket.
Thanks
Hi
jk12, as mentioned by
ContinentalFan, whenever you upgrade to a fully-refundable fare from a non-refundable fare, the non-refundable portion (which in your example would be the "T" fare) will remain non-refundable. The incremental fare paid to get the fully-refundable fare is what will be refundable.
