Can anyone suggest a website where I can book fully refundable tickets. Someone mentioned Emirates but I only found partially refundable tickets.
Any other suggestions are welcomed.
*When you book an emirates ticket online, you can choose an Economy Flex ticket that can be refunded WITHOUT any fees.*
