No refund of tax for change?
Hi,


I have just successfully changed my existing reservation from NH C to LX F ^ However the taxes came out in my favour in that they were less than I had origionally paid however the agent refused to refund the difference. Does this sound right?

I have a feeling that unless you cancel the booking and start again on a new PNR, the original taxes have to stand... however I may have just made that up so best you wait until someone with more knowledge replies to this thread

I believe its correct.

If you had enough miles and if all the sectors were still available then you could have cancelled and rebooked - the cancellation is only Ł5 more expensive in terms of change fees.

Your experience matches mine - they collect extra when it's more, but won't give back the difference with a lower tax amount... As others have said, cancel and booking again is the only way of getting the taxes back.
