    What are the terms of your contract with the agent, and what are the fare conditions associated with the flight tickets, i.e. are they refundable ones?  If the agent isn't obliged to refund then your friend can presumably claim on a travel insurance policy?

    The OP may also be able to claim on travel insurance as cover often covers events affecting people you are travelling with.  The OP will need to speak to their insurer to clarify.

    So what does it say on here about your specific type of booking?

    I am also unsure what you mean by “they cancelled one of the flights.“ Do you mean they cancelled the flights for the other person but you are still travelling?
