Ticket refund / Rebooking and Revalidate

 Refund and rebooking penalties are applied to each flight segment in accordance with the fare rules.

If a ticket is changed from one class or brand to a higher class/brand through the "UPGRADE" procedure (with additional payment), the refund/rebooking/revalidate of the ticket must be carried out according to the following rules:

- Rebooking/Revalidating – according to the rules of new rebooked class.

- Ticket refund: after full refund of fare difference paid for the “UPGRADE” procedure, the amount paid for the initial class is refunded to the passenger by deducting a penalty in accordance with the applicable rules of that class.

If a ticket is issued based on combination of two or several classes/brands:

- Rebooking/Revalidating operations are carried out according to the applicable rules of the relevant rebooking classes/brands by segments:

- Unused Ticket refund: is carried out in accordance with the rules applicable to the lower class/brand in the ticket

- Partially used ticket refund or revalidating rules are applied only to unused/actual flight segment

Changing the class/brand level is not allowed (within the same service class to a lower class)

Rebooking/Revalidating is carried out with the deduction of fare difference based on the class/brand available in GDS (Global Distribution System) and corresponding fare rules.

“Rerouting” is performed by charging the difference between the fares for the new route/direction and fees/charges and by charging a fee in the amount of 50 EUR for each direction (segment) (the brand used in the original ticket should be applied). The difference between the fares is not refundable.

When “REROUTING” to the different airports in the same city, the difference between the class and the fees/charges in Global Distribution System (GDS) should be chargeable. The difference between the fares is not refundable.
