What do these warning/restriction codes in air tickets mean?
I bought airline tickets for a trip and received an email with these codes:
NONREF/0VALUAFTDPT/CHGFEE
What do they mean? I don't think they are specific to the airline's system (United), that is, I think they are general airline codes.
The answer could be enriched with other possible codes.
