1. AUTO GDS REFUND

GDS converts ticket status to R (refunded) & refund is automatic.
Most refunds can be GDS processed, however ADM's are issued for incorrect calculations & fees. Documentation must be cross referenced to avoid ADM'S if refunding old and issuing new tickets.
GDS cannot be used for:
Exchanged (reissued) ticket refunds OR Credit card payment refunds.

2. BSPLINK REFUND APPLICATION POSTED ON BSPLink (RA 4000)

BSPLink refund is not considered a manual refund, therefore agents are responsible for completing breakdown of fare calculations and taxes etc. If incorrectly calculated or blank - refund will reject.
Must be used for:
Exchanged (reissued) ticket refunds OR Credit card payments.
Must not be used for: Downgrades, non BSP issued tickets, partial refunds or ACM requests.

3. MANUAL REFUND (use in-house refund form or Original Refund Application format)

Agents forward manual refund application to GA Agency Desk/Ticket Office. GA calculates refund and forwards to GA BSP for processing via PALMS. Refund appears in BSPLink as a Refund Notice.

4. WAIVER/REDUCTION OF FEES ON ANY REFUND
