<p>My son is in Europe. Flew to Stockholm in January and has been staying in hostels, couchsurfing and working a bit. He is in Paris now. His return ticket is for next month from Stockholm but a friend of mine who was son’s Sunday School teacher, flies in and out of Paris a couple of times a month (he’s a pilot) and has offered to bring son home on a buddy pass. Son’s savings is dwindling rapidly even though he is being very, very frugal.</p>
<p>Is there anyway we can get a refund on the second leg of his return trip ticket? He used SAS. It costs so much to travel to Stockholm that we’re trying to see if it would be worth it to just give up the second leg flight, but if he could get the money back that would be even better. I’ve looked on SAS’s website, but couldn’t find any info. He paid just over $600 for the flight so it was a pretty good deal. Getting even $200 would be nice.</p>
<p>Suggestions?</p>
<p>It all depends on what sort of ticket it was. Did you call SAS?</p>
<p>I haven’t called yet. I’m at work and can’t easily make a phone call. It was a good deal, but he did buy it directly through SAS, not a discount place.</p>
<p>We cancelled some tickets from SAS last fall – had booked to fly from Stockholm to St. Petersburg one way, planning to take a ferry out of St. Petersburg. Then found out that the visa fees for Russia were so ridiculous ($250 per person) that it did not make sense to just go for the 2-3 days we had planned.</p>
<p>Our SAS tickets were cheap (like, $110/person), so I decided to just eat the cost. I called SAS to cancel them and just ask about a refund, and we did get some money back (maybe $35/ticket). More money than I thought I would get back from looking at the website. I am sure we bought the cheapest class of non-refundable tickets. So my advice is to call SAS, you will probably get something back.</p>
<p>Good to know intparent. I will call them up tomorrow.</p>
