Yes. Fare restrictions can matter even when two tickets look similar. The conditions of carriage cited below state that different fare types are subject to different Fare Rules and are priced differently. The Fare Rules include information about whether a fare can be changed or cancelled, so a similar route or ticket appearance does not by itself establish that the two fares carry the same terms.
How to check two tickets
A reader should compare:
- the fare type attached to each ticket;
- the Fare Rules for that fare type, including its change and cancellation information; and
- whether the price being compared is for the same fare type.
The price should be read alongside the fare type because different fare types can be priced differently. Visual similarity alone is not a substitute for checking the rules.
What the reader must still confirm
The cited passage does not specify exact change fees, cancellation deadlines, refund amounts, or the result for a particular booking. Those details still need to be checked against the applicable fare type and its Fare Rules before booking. Similar-looking tickets should not be assumed to offer the same change or cancellation options.
