Howdy,
Long story short, flying standby to London in September.
Will, hopefully, arrive early in the morning, and need to make it to Paris that day.
Ideally, will be arriving on QF9 at 05:40.
Since I am standby, I might arrive then, I might arrive on the plane that leaves Singapore 54 minutes later (QF1, arriving circa 6:35), or I might arrive another day / time or, I might arrive on QF9 and it may be late in. My LHR-CDG flight will, obviously, be on a different PNR.
Ideally, I'd catch the BA 304 LHR-CDG departing 07:25...... but, I if catch QF1 instead of QF9 (or, catch an altogether different plane/arrive late), I'll miss BA 304.
Currently, BA 304 is £270 one way, and £270 back (flexible fare) ...... but, I only want a one-way flight. Unfortuantely, oneway is over £500 (flexible).
I'm not sure what happens if I purchase the return fare, then cancel the return flight?
The fare conditions state:
"If you want to cancel your flight
If you cancel a refund is permitted, subject to recalculation of the fare for any journey flown. There are no cancellation fees."
So, I don't understand... if I fly the first leg, then cancel the return leg (can I cancel just the return leg?).... will they 're-calculate' the original fare that I paid for the outbound journey (£270), and charge me more?
Per the Terms and Conditions:
"Administration charges for changes made to your booking on ba.com are as follows:
Booking cancellation:
For fully flexible tickets there will be a charge of £15 per person."
Wait up, will there be a cancellation charge of £15, or 'no cancellation fees'?
It's quite confusing... can someone please spell it out to me?
Cheers
