Cancel avios flight on other OW airline
If I book an avios flight on JL through the BA app, am I able to cancel that one also up to 24h before departure, or are there different rules? Would the cancellation incure any fees?
Thanks
Thanks

It is the same rules for BA, oneworld or non oneworld airlines: you can get all your Avios back up to 24 hours before the first flight. There is a redeposit fee of £35 if your account is based in the UK, 42.50€ elsewhere in Europe, but that is capped by whatever was paid at the time of booking, so if the cash component was below £35 you have no more to pay. Again, the same for all airlines under Avios. There are no fees if redepositing a Gold Priority Reward.

The standard rules apply ( inculding the 35GBP cancellation fee but if the fees are less than that you would not get any money back just the avios)

Thanks, how I thought it worked but needed confirmation, waiting for a repricing of a change to another flight I am trying to amend, so not sure where I will be. Was told that the latest cancellations have put a strain on that part. +36h I have waited so far, but still a happy camper! ☺

So I would have thought BA is entirely responsible for cancelling and refunding, and it's not really anything to do with RJ

Yes, the avios and money come back directly from BA. I haven't heard that BA have to get the taxes/fees/charges back from the operating airline before refunding to the customer. In my experience regardless of the carrier BA should refund the avios and TFC straight away.

Well, I not that bothered with the time aspect on refunded avios, right now more bothered about the time aspect of staying awake until I hit HK evening, I can't sleep on flights, and unfortunately I was able to check in at my hotel at 8am in HK...and the bed is just too comfy now... 😯

My experience.
I bookd JAL flight award.
15000 Avios and 3370 JPY were charged.
When I requested cancellation on the web, 15000 Avios was redeposited almost immediately.
3370 JPY was redeposited to my credit card balance at the next day. (as a GGL).

Similar here:
Had to cancel a oneway Avios flight on CX.
Called BA since somehow it would not let me cancel it online.
The miles got posted back on my account in no time, only the taxes did not come back as they "used" it to pay the change fee.
