We reserve the right to make a refund in the same manner and in the same currency as was used to pay for the Ticket.

Voluntary refunds will be made only by the carrier which originally issued the Ticket or by its agent if so authorized.

10.8 Refund to Credit Card or Debit Card Accounts

Refund for Tickets paid with credit cards or debit cards can only be credited to the card account originally used for the Ticket purchase. The refundable amount to be paid by us will be in accordance with the rules within this article only, on the basis of the amount originally paid by you and the currency entered in the Ticket. The refundable amount to be credited to the credit card or debit card account of the card owner can vary from the originally debited amount by the card company for the Ticket due to differences in currency conversion. Such variances do not entitle the recipient of the refund to a claim against us.
