Avoiding fees when Cancelling Qantas Flight Bookings

[Iggy_Pop]

Hello, I purchased some international qantas flights for June this year but have decided not to go. Qantas want $400 to cancel the flights. Is there anyway to avoid this? Was hoping some times changed which would allow a full refund but was wondering if any one had a way around this. The flights were sale flights.

Thanks

The cancellation fees apply when you voluntarily cancel. While unpalatable, better than changing and paying a fee for a future flight credit

Travel insurance is an option if there’s circumstances (eg medical)

If the airline cancels it could be a full refund

The t&c's are what you agreed to when purchasing. The more expemnsiove the fare buckets the lesser the t&c's penalties tend to be. Sale at the lowest fare - most restrictive t&c's.

Worth wait until the last possible time to voluntary cancel the flights. With luck QF may have a big schedule change which may allow QF~you to cancel for a full refund.
