Flight Cancellation & Refund Guidance
Cancellation and refund eligibility depends on the airline, ticket type, fare conditions, route, reason for cancellation, and applicable consumer protection regulations.
Before Cancelling Your Reservation
Check the following considerations prior to submitting a cancellation:
- Refund Eligibility: Determine whether your fare is fully refundable to original payment or non-refundable.
- Travel Credit & Voucher Options: Understand credit validity periods (typically 12 months from issue date).
- Cancellation Penalties: Verify whether carrier cancellation fees apply.
- Ancillary Purchases: Check if seat selection, extra baggage, or lounge passes are refundable.
- 24-Hour Risk-Free Window: For flights booked at least 7 days before departure in many jurisdictions, airlines allow cancellation within 24 hours of booking for a 100% full refund.
Types of Flight Refunds
- Original Payment Method Refund: Funds returned directly to credit/debit card.
- Airline Travel Credit / E-Voucher: Electronic funds held in your passenger profile for future bookings.
- Government Tax Refund: Unused airport passenger taxes can often be reclaimed even on non-refundable tickets.
