Yes, you do get taxes back, as Clovis says, but it takes a while. If you are considering booking ff over and seeing if you can get your seats back at a later date I would think long and hard. especially if there is a group of you.
I would value 5000 points at approx $100. If you lose a heap it can add up. I think you said there were 4 of you?
I tried that once and couldn't get ff back and lost the points. If you've got them to throw away go ahead and do it.
Seats are going to get harder and harder to find as Bali gets more popular again. All the cheap seats next July are already booked, why would they release ff seats?
