Silly Mistake

Hi, I missed a flight because I misread the ticket details in the email. I tried to rebook the flight with the travel agent and they said that I was a no show and lost all the money - is this correct?

Thanks.

You should be able to reclaim the taxes less any administration charge.

under the condistions of travel you will not get a refund unless you brought a fully flexable ticket

Actually depends on the type of flight ticket it was.

Yes, this is the case if it was a scheduled flight, however if a charter flight, then no.

And depending on the destination / airline, the taxes may or may not be worth claiming back.

If it was a Low Cost Carrier, you may have been able to book a one way and still use the return part of the ticket, however not usually possible with a full service scheduled ticket or charter.

Its a pity some time has lapsed, but you could plead dumb.
If your car had broke down on the way to the airport or similar, you could , depending on the t&cs of your travel insurance, claimed for "missed departure".

Thanks for the responses guys.

Can anyone point me towards a site that has information on flight tax refunds?

The travel agent now says I can only get the flight tax refunded on the return journey instead of the whole round trip - is this correct?

Look at the website of the carrier that you had been due to fly with.
