Question re use of an e-voucher
 
Hi,
got a usa domestic only 350usd e-voucher that I'd like to use (never used one before).
If I use it for a say, 200usd fare will I lose the remainder?
Does the voucher count towards all in fare including taxes?

Being uk based, not at all used to these things and have read the t's & c's to no avail...
thanks

It will only apply to airfare of $350 or more.

thanks for the reply, are you saying the minumum fare must be the voucher amount??

I do believe that is what they are saying. Note that the fare amount is the pre-tax fare. I do believe you can apply it to fuel surcharges.

A search should have found the answer, but...

Online, you can only use it for an airfare >=$350. That doesn't include taxes, which you'll need to pay on top of the fare.

You can use it on a fare less than the voucher amount, but you'll need to do it over the phone, and you'll lose any extra value - plus you'll still need to pay taxes. ie, book a $200 fare with $20 in taxes and it'll cost you your entire $350 voucher, plus $20.

Correct. (all of this is in the wordy terms) It only applies to base fare (not taxes) of greater amounts. To be fair, if you call websupport they do generally tend to apply it to lower airfares but you loose remaining balance.

you can try looking for a higher fare class that would be more expensive, but I think that'll put you way over the $350 and so you'd end up spending more.

Web support might be the best bet.
