Understand your options before cancelling

Cancellation outcomes depend on the airline, fare conditions, ticket status and timing. Reviewing the rules first can help you understand whether a refund, travel credit or other option may apply.

Flight Cancellation information

Check the fare conditions first

Refundability is determined by the ticket and airline rules. Some fares may be refundable, some may qualify for a future travel credit, and others may have restrictions or fees.

Timing can matter

Airline policies may differ depending on how soon you cancel after booking and how close you are to departure. If your flight is approaching, review your options promptly.

If the airline changes or cancels your flight

Options can differ when a carrier makes a significant schedule change or cancels a flight. Review the airline’s current policy and the specific circumstances of your itinerary before choosing an alternative.

Travel policies, schedules, fares and availability can change. Always review the rules that apply to your specific itinerary before purchasing or modifying travel.
