Outbound leg cancelled – Can I get a partial refund?
I have a trip booked in November with the
- outbound journey on Austrian Airlines from Zurich via Vienna to Nuremberg,
and the
- return on Lufthansa from Nuremberg via Frankfurt to Zurich.
I have been informed that the flight I was supposed to take from Zurich to Vienna has been cancelled. I could take the earlier flight, but that would result in a six-hour layover in Vienna.
As far as I am aware, I am eligible for a refund of my entire ticket due to this flight cancellation (correct me if I'm wrong). However, could I also opt to only fly the return journey, and get (roughly) half of my ticket value back? Or would the ticket be re-priced in this case for a one-way journey NUE-FRA-ZRH, which as of now would cost me significantly more than I have originally paid?
