Condor - can I keep second leg after skipping first?
Hi,
I booked nonrefundable flights from Boston --> Vienna and Ljubljana --> Boston for work in June. Now I have been informed that I will have to fly to Vienna from another origin due to a work project. I called Condor to cancel my first leg but keep my second leg and the agent said that if she tried cancelling it, the system interpreted it as booking a one way, and the prices were very high for just the one-way return. She recommended that I no-show/skip my first leg, call after skipping it to get the small airport tax refund, and then just take my second flight. I asked twice whether my seat on the second flight would be cancelled if I no-showed my first and she said no.
Has anyone had any experience with this with Condor? Do they keep your second leg even if you no-show the first? I thought airlines usually cancelled both in that case. I need to know whether I need to book another ticket back to Boston if there is a risk of my second flight being cancelled. Please advise how to phrase my question to the agent if I am not asking the right question.
Thank you!
