Hi,

We did a booking for a family trip to Aussie. However one of my family member's visa was rejected.

1. can we get refund from AA?
2. Possible to change destination?
3. Possible to change name (for that guy who can't make it)?


thanks

update of the situation

allow me to vent my frustration here.

ppl going:

me, wife, son

Father/mother

Visa rejected(VR)/Son


initially my family wanted to go Spain for holiday. somehow along the line VR got involve and we thought ok, since our son have a company for vacation. rope in father/mother as well.

due to budget and his son wanted to see snow, ok lets go sydney(despite the fact my wife been to sydney before).

no one knows she been to aussie and was deported before( she is in law and don't ask about her husband-complicated).

so now, the kid will not go without the mom. 2 ticket burn and my kid will go alone. and for fuck sake we originally did not want to go sydney and no we do not want to see snow.

so yes its a really frustrating situation

crap. guess i am at dead end now


went to their website. seems like they will only refund airport tax

not ptptn
all of us are ok. except one. she did not tell us she had some "history" in aussie 10 years back. she naively thought all is forgotten. which really pisses us off.
will try to appeal. but counting out options now

yeah i undersatnd. so...just live with it

appealing now..lets see. rejected because, she was once deported back and aussie paid for some of her meals and she/her company did not reimburse aussie gov. 10 years ago.

yeah. we took it for granted. me and my wife have never any issue with visa and traveling. parents so old so visa should be ok.

never thought the weakest link...

for sure we will be going but...like i said... aussie was never our choice.. so it more of a frustration


leaving her... but its still frustrating due to the circumstances...

yeah... thats why i dint bother to describe our relationship in detail

frankly.. not sure yet. she have not paid us yet.

also if this trip fails.

my airbnb need to cancel and there goes the admin fee.
crhist sake i hope i have not paid the car rental. need to check

yeap.

3 groups

wife old me need to drive 3-4 hours. something like that...

i really don't mind brining VR kids. problem is he might not want to go without his mom

when we booked Airbnb it was for 3 rooms. now we don't need 3 rooms and 3 rooms is so freaking expensive.

need to recalculate if it is worth it

yes like that... thanks...

yeap. my son will mengamuk now....jezzzz all for nothing... and crap i don't wanna go Aussie....

nope...need to drive couple of hours....

already got all my answers.... thanks a lot. closing this thread at 11am

don't think the will even give credit.

anyway..my lost..

thanks every one
