When
The client cancels a trip whose ticket was issued before today and nothing has been flown. The fare allows a refund (maybe minus a cancellation fee), and the money goes back through BSP.
Check first
- Issued today? Then void it instead (Void (cancel) an e-ticket issued today).
*HTE: every couponOPEN, the issue date, and whether this is a first issue or a reissue.- The fare's refund rule and the cancellation fee.
- Automated refunds are not offered in every BSP market, nor by every airline, nor for every ticket type.

Traps
- Cancel a refund the same calendar day only:
TRNC22012345000124(participating airlines only). If the refund was made in another branch, add/+ that PCC, e.g./7XQ1. TRNCwants the ticket number plus its check digit — 14 digits, airline code included. Some Travelport material shows it with 13 digits instead.- Refund already processed through BSP directly?
TRNE2201234500012/D05OCT26/NOsets the e-ticket toRFNDas a non-reportable transaction, so it is not reported a second time. - With the one-line format only one credit card form of payment is accepted.
- The refund takes the ticket's data automatically (IT/BT, net remit and so on) for BSP and the back office — you do not retype it.
- Switch off Insert before typing in the mask.
- Paid seats and bags are on EMDs and are refunded separately (Refund an EMD — full refund from the EMD screen).
