       Hello,
       Is it right that non- refundable rates are officially allowed in
       many countries?
       Have you ever bought avia tickets or book hotel choosing NR
       rates.
       It’s forbidden in Russia. However, hoteliers use this rate
       widely. Interestingly that overbooking in avia companies has
       become ok since recently.
       Thank you

       I have no idea if it is legal or not but when you buy an airline
       ticket you know exactly if you can change it or not. The price
       is usually different. People generally take an insurance for
       cancelling and get refunded by their insurance if they had a
       health hazard. As for hotels, I book via booking.com and the
       terms are clear. Big hotels in most cases allow you to cancel a
       reservation up to the last minute, boutique hotels don’t.
       Friends started telling me how horrendously expensive
       Booking.com is for hoteliers and that we should boycott them. I
       know people who browse through the site and afterwards contact
       the hotels personally. So I do not know what would be the policy
       there with a contract without a middleman.
