A friend was flying XXX-ORD-LHR on this flight connecting from an RJ in ORD to UA to London. They checked their refund and it was ~$50. UA said ticket price was broken down by segment and almost 90% of the ticket price (for the outbound) was on the RJ segment. Also, of course, the return segment was worth more than the outbound. One wonders if the ticket price breakdown was modified after the fact....

Cases like this cause people not to believe any fare breakdown into segments that UA might claim. Hence, UA should at least refund the entire fare component (which people can verify on most ticket receipts) plus associated taxes and fees.
I wonder whether there was a fuel surcharge on the ticket that got the $50 refund. |

There maybe a grain of truth in this, some TATL base fares are as low as $50 have been reported BUT the YQ needs to be consider in addition to the base fare. Potential sounds like an inexperienced agent.
I would be unhappy if I purchased a broken TV from Best Buy for $1000 and only got $890 back when I returned it because they kept taxes (or surcharge in this case). That's similar, although UA doesn't technically have to offer a refund to those pax who eventually made it to LHR. Even worse, if it's a $50 base, it's like the passenger paid $300 and only got $50 back for the broken flight. |

Perhaps it all makes sense; a large multinational dominated by an accounting approach would only understand goodwill as defined in FASB 142. |
