Cancelling and getting taxes back?
Anyone know what the position is regarding repayment of APD if I choose to cancel my flights that were due to take place on Saturday?
A voucher is no good to me but the tax element of my flight is more than double the flight element. |

Part of the taxes and fees you see in the breakdown isn’t refunded.
I cancelled a £280 Virgin flight to Dubai a few years ago, I got back about £90 after they took their cancellation fee (about £30 I think). |

Old and dim here!
If I shell £1,200 for to us to fly to the west coast and that flight is cancelled under the present climate I expect £1,200 back or don't I get it. Tad confused if honest. Age thing

I booked with Expedia. I think my chances of getting a refund from them are slim to none.
Yes, I know legally they have to refund me but they probably aren't going to; which is why my thoughts turned to the taxes. |

I booked with BA.
Within 8 or so days of my request, I received my whole £1755.82 back on my card. This included all APD and also my seat reservations that had been booked separately and at a later date. Exemplary service BA, and this suggests that EVERYTHING is repayable and in my case, with no admin charges.

They have my money, not a deposit but the lot. If they cancel I want it all back to do what I want with it.
I don't want a voucher that I may never use.

The question is if you cancel a still operating flight then any refund will be under the original terms and conditions, so in theory you are entitled to get any taxes you paid back but the airline may charge a fee to do so. If the airline cancels a flight you are entitled to a full cash refund of everything you have paid.
