I have booked flights with Garuda to Bali. We are not tavelling now and would like to obtain some kind of refund. I am trying travel insurance, but not likely. I have heard that airlines should refund taxes even on a non-refundable ticket. Just wondering if anyone knows if this is true for Australia and how I go about claiming this.
Refund of Taxes on Non Refundable Flight

What have the airline offered in terms of rescheduling?
Should you ask the airline before posting here? I thought it was the other way around.
Just think taxes as modern day robin hood to reduce cause and be civilised in simplest terms :)
Not even talking about a flight in Australia, but sure, whatever excuse you need to transition into some rant with zero actual substance to your arguments
Diji1 to the rescue….
not enough information to help, havent actually spent the time to work out options available to them. Instead just assumes everything is lost.
Thread should be closed.
airline should refund taxes, but it may depend on who you booked flights with. There was an article in the paper yesterday saying 50% of airlines will go broke & so none are in any hurry whatsoever to refund you anything, if Corona not sorted by May. I can't find link to that story by it was a comment by flight centre head honcho. Graham Turner I think his name is.
If you are going to be losing most of the money anyway, I wouldn't cancel until the latest possible opportunity. If the airline cancels the flight, which is quite possible, then you should get a full refund.
Contact the airline and come back if problem persists.
