Applicant purchased a ticket and then cancelled the flight – claimed $1,510 for balance of ticket that was not refunded – Lufthansa argued the ticket was non-refundable and unused taxes had already been refunded – Lufthansa argued that applicant could have rebooked ticket anytime within one year of flight date without change fees but chose to cancel – Tribunal found no evidence that Lufthansa was required to provide any refund given non-refundable ticket purchased – applicant chose to cancel refund based on holiday preferences and not COVID-19 travel restrictions – claim dismissed
