And oh boy I do love the fact that one had to call airline to switch away from a toilet seat.

Calling an airline after having booked a fare like this is guaranteed recipe for someone looking into and cancelling this ticket.

There's almost never an official announcement one way or the other (the airline doesn't want to draw any more attention to these incidents), so the best you'll get is radio silence and an intact ticket. Typically you're safe after 2 weeks of that
Realistically, they're not going to be vindictive and say, cancel your flight in the week before travel if you booked far out, or at the check-in desk. Unless there's a change you try to make at the check-in desk that forces a re-ticketing that then shows them the price, etc... the only instance of this I see documented is that Prince of Travel guy who tried to skip the first segment on an Algeria => Paris => USA Air France fare, which caused the check-in agent to look at the ticket and tell him he could fly in Economy or walk away.

I never understand people who book these great deals and then fill themselves with anxiety over the complexities. If you can’t go with the flow and think on the fly then good deals aren’t for you.

But, yes, get the vaccine.

And yes I’m frustrated. The more these threads fill up with people wondering about cancelations, calling, and positioning, the higher the likely hood the airline will use it as fodder to walk back their flash sale.

Fare Rules
All tickets are non-transferable. This fare is non-refundable and changes may not be allowed after 24 hours from the time of booking. You will be able to view the specific fare rules and restrictions associated with your ticket immediately after purchase. Airlines policies vary. On many airlines, if changes are allowed, they must be made prior to the date of your departure, and will incur a minimum of a $100 carrier-imposed change fee and you will be responsible for any increase in fare. In addition to any change fees applied by the airline, any changes to your itinerary will incur a $30 USD per ticket service fee. In addition, if you do not use your tickets, and do not make changes to your itinerary prior to your date of departure, your tickets will have no value and cannot be refunded or exchanged.My question is I booked for myself (100% flying) and a seperate booking for my girlfriend (who is 50/50). She wants to cancel now, but if the option can be kep open for full refund in a month when she can for certain say. Does this read as full refund or not?
