TK - Cancellation rules explained please...
 

Hi All -

Interested in booking a RT flight from LAX - JRO on TK. However there is a slight chance that I might have to continue on to Asia I reach JRO, reading my back half of the ticket useless. This wont be determined until I am already in JRO.

As such, debating on buying either a OW Confort/Economy class tix; or cancel friendly RT ticket and just cancel the back half only if needed.

The ticket is pricing out at $2,165 ($400 deducted refund) or $2,790 (full refund). Curious to know how much money I would get back if indeed I do cancel the back half of a ticket once travel commenced and I cancelled after I used half the ticket.

I tried to call customer service, but they told me they could not help until a ticket was purchased.

1. Do they reprice my first leg at the OW travel price, and then give me the difference?
2. Or would they just refund the 2nd half portion minus any penalties.

A copy of the fare rules below... thanks so much.

Blasky

The airline will reassess the fare by taking the one way journey from the original fare paid (taking into account any change/cancellation penalties). You might end up with nothing back or very little depending on the fare you originally purchase.

Yes - that is what I was afraid of. By the time they reprice the ticket, I might have a very expensive OW ticket... possibly even more $$$ than if I just bought a OW right now online and not have to worry about the bother or refunds/credits.

Anyone have a real world example of how much they got back?

THanks,
