Cancellation Policy

Understand important information about flight cancellations, refunds, booking changes, and how to contact your airline or booking provider for assistance.

Our Cancellation Policy

At FindCheapFlight, we aim to help travelers explore flight options and make informed travel decisions. If you need to cancel a flight or change your travel plans, it is important to understand that cancellation rules depend on the airline, ticket type, fare conditions, and the provider through which your booking was made.

FindCheapFlight does not automatically control the cancellation, refund, or change rules of airlines and third-party booking providers. Always review the terms presented by the provider responsible for your reservation.

Important: If you have already purchased a ticket, contact the airline or the travel agency or booking website that issued your ticket. They can confirm whether your reservation is eligible for cancellation, a refund, or a change.

Airline Rules Apply

Cancellation conditions can differ by airline, route, ticket class, fare type, and booking conditions.

Refunds May Vary

Refund eligibility, processing times, and applicable fees are determined by the airline or booking provider.

Contact Your Provider

The airline or booking provider holding your reservation is generally the right place to request cancellation assistance.

1. Flight Cancellation by Passengers

If you decide not to travel, check the cancellation conditions attached to your ticket before submitting a request. Depending on the fare rules, you may be eligible for a full refund, a partial refund, a travel credit, or no refund.

Some tickets may be non-refundable. Other tickets may allow cancellation subject to fees or specific deadlines. Additional service charges imposed by the airline or booking provider may also apply.

Please submit your cancellation request directly to the airline or booking provider responsible for your reservation.

2. Airline-Initiated Cancellations

Airlines may cancel or significantly change flights because of operational requirements, weather, safety concerns, schedule adjustments, or other circumstances.

If your airline cancels your flight, contact the airline or booking provider for information about available options. Depending on the circumstances and applicable laws, options may include rebooking, an alternative flight, a refund, or other assistance.

The options available to you depend on the airline's policies, the conditions of your ticket, and any applicable passenger protection regulations.

3. Refund Eligibility and Processing

Refund eligibility is determined by the applicable fare conditions, the reason for cancellation, and the policies of the airline or booking provider.

  • Refunds may be full, partial, or unavailable, depending on the ticket conditions.
  • Cancellation penalties or administrative fees may apply.
  • Refund processing times vary by airline, payment method, and booking provider.
  • Some refunds may be issued as travel credits or vouchers rather than cash.
  • Any applicable statutory refund rights depend on the circumstances and relevant law.

FindCheapFlight cannot guarantee a refund amount, approval, or processing timeline for a reservation handled by another company.

4. Changes to Flight Reservations

If you want to change your travel date, destination, passenger details, or itinerary, check whether your ticket permits changes. The airline or booking provider may charge a change fee, a fare difference, or other applicable charges.

Certain passenger details may not be changeable after a ticket has been issued. Contact your booking provider before making alternative travel arrangements.

5. No-Show and Missed Flights

If you fail to check in or do not board your scheduled flight, the airline may classify your reservation as a no-show. This can affect the value of your ticket and any remaining flight segments.

If you expect to miss a flight, contact the airline or booking provider as soon as possible. Do not assume that unused tickets or taxes will automatically be refunded.

6. Third-Party Booking Providers

Flights discovered through FindCheapFlight may be offered or booked through airlines, online travel agencies, or other third-party providers.

If your ticket was purchased through a third-party website or travel agency, that provider may need to process your cancellation or refund request, even when the flight is operated by an airline.

Please review your booking confirmation to identify the company responsible for your ticket and follow its cancellation instructions.

7. Cancellation Fees and Additional Charges

Fees may depend on the airline, fare rules, ticket conditions, booking channel, and timing of the request. Separate service fees may be charged by a travel agency or booking provider.

Before confirming a cancellation, ask the responsible provider to explain any deductions, penalties, or additional charges and the expected refund amount, if any.

8. Travel Insurance

If you purchased travel insurance, review the policy to determine whether your reason for cancellation is covered. Coverage, exclusions, documentation requirements, and claim deadlines depend on your insurance contract.

Cancellation by itself does not guarantee that an insurance claim will be approved. Contact your insurer for claim instructions.

9. How to Request a Cancellation

For the most efficient assistance, follow these general steps:

  • Locate your booking confirmation and ticket number.
  • Identify the airline or booking provider that issued your ticket.
  • Read the ticket's cancellation and refund conditions.
  • Contact the responsible provider through its official support channel.
  • Ask about cancellation fees, refund eligibility, and expected processing time.
  • Keep any cancellation confirmation and related correspondence for your records.
