Cancelling an award flight

holidaysforme

Thinking we may have to cancel an upcoming avios flight. We booked the outward leg with avios.com and returns with ba avios.
There are three of us.,How much will we have to pay to cancel?

We paid £52.50 in taxes for the outward leg, and .£30 with ba for the return leg.
Am I right in thinking that we will pay £35 each leg to cancel, so £210 altogether, and get back £82.50, so we are effectively paying £127.50. Have I got that right? Also, I'm presuming we will get all the avios back?

I suggest you ask BA direct... or ask on Flyer Talk.

Award flights are fairly flexible, so you might be pleasantly surprised.

With BA, the cancellation fee is subtracted from the money you've already paid. If the former is greater than the latter, you will get no money back and there is no additional fee to pay. I would assume Avios.com works the same way but I've no personal experience with that site.

Yep, phone BA and ask them, I always find them very helpful, we had to cancel once got back our Avios and the other money via travel ins. Do you have Travel ins?

If you cancel more than 24 hours in advance of the first flight you get everything back except for £35 per flight. Anything less than £35 paid is not collected. You also get all the Avios back.

If you booked as returns at £82.50 each you will get £12.50 back per person.

If you booked as 2 singles you will get £17.50 per person.

You will also get all the Avios back.

Cancel less than 24 hours before the first flight you get nothing.
