Airlines Cancellation Policy (USA)

We understand that travel plans can change, and we aim to provide flexibility when it comes to canceling your flight. Below are the details regarding our cancellation policy for flights within the United States.

1. 24-Hour Cancellation Rule

In accordance with U.S. Department of Transportation regulations, customers are allowed to cancel their flight without penalty within 24 hours of booking if the flight was purchased at least seven days before the scheduled departure.

• If your flight was booked less than seven days before departure, the 24-hour cancellation policy does not apply.
• After the 24-hour window, standard cancellation fees and policies will apply.

2. Refundable vs. Non-Refundable Tickets

• Refundable Tickets: These allow for cancellations at any time before departure without penalty. The full ticket price will be refunded to your original payment method.
• Non-Refundable Tickets: Cancellations of non-refundable tickets may incur fees. If eligible, a credit will be issued for future travel rather than a cash refund. Credits are typically valid for 12 months from the cancellation date.

3. Cancellation Fees

Cancellation fees for non-refundable tickets may vary depending on the airline and type of fare purchased. In most cases:

• Domestic Flights: Cancellation fees typically range between $75 to $200.
• International Flights: Fees can be higher, often ranging from $200 to $500.

4. How to Cancel Your Flight

You can cancel your flight via:

• Website: Visit our website and navigate to the “Manage Booking” section. Enter your booking reference and last name to access your reservation and request cancellation.
• Phone: Contact our customer service team to assist with the cancellation.
• Mobile App: Use our mobile app for easy access to your booking and initiate a cancellation request.

5. Flight Cancellations Due to Airline-Initiated Changes

In the event that the airline cancels or significantly changes the schedule of your flight, you are entitled to:

• A full refund for the canceled flight.
• Rebooking on an alternative flight at no additional cost, subject to availability.

6. Travel Insurance

We recommend purchasing travel insurance to cover unexpected changes in travel plans. Travel insurance may provide coverage for cancellations due to unforeseen circumstances, such as medical emergencies or severe weather disruptions.
