My parents bought me an air zimbabwe ticket for the 10th july but i have decided not to go to zimbabwe?

Question

to zimbabwe because of the current situation. it cost 2 000 pounds for me and bro return... is it refundable.. i mean they should get their money back if we not going to use the tickets?

Answer 1

I don't blame you - I wouldn't be going either. Your parents will understand, no? Even if it's not refundable. Have you talked to them yet?

Answer 2

I hope you didn't pay in the zimbabwe currency equivalent of £2000. If you did then the pound equivalent of this in a few weeks time when you get your money back will be next to nothing due to the hyperinflation there.

But if you do go say hi to Rob for me.

Answer 5

It depends on the fare class of the ticket - you'll have to check with the airline.

Answer 6

I think you have made a wise decision. Some of the other answerers have given you good advise to get a refund or at least a part of it.  Good luck - If I were your Mother, I would think you have done the right thing.

Answer 7

Get in touch with the travel company who issued the tickets. According to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

http://www.fco.gov.uk/en/travelling-and-...

They advise against all travel to Zimbabwe at this time of high tension.

So as it is not your fault, you should get a refund.

Answer 8

From their website:

CANCELLATIONS BY YOU (Flights) Should you for any reason have to cancel your booking you must give us a written notice of cancellation signed by the person who originally made the booking. Refund of Flight Tickets - Some tickets are non-refundable. Certain types of airline tickets (eg Apex Tickets) cannot be changed after a reservation has been made and any alteration request will incur a 100% cancellation charge. Tickets returned will be submitted to the respective airline, or their agent, for assessment. As soon as we are reimbursed by the issuing airline or their agent we will forward a refund to you, less loss of deposit, applicable cancellation and/or administration charges. Please note that airline refunds or part used tickets and the return half of the airfare are always less than the pro-rata rate and may have no refund value whatsoever. Refunds usually take 8 - 12 weeks but in certain cases may take longer.
