Can I Cancel My Flight?

Quick answer

Yes, most tickets can be cancelled — the real question is what it costs and what you get back. Refund eligibility depends on the airline and fare rules: some fares refund fully, some convert to travel credit, and some are restrictive. Your confirmation email and the fare conditions state which apply to you.

The three common outcomes

• Full or partial refund to the original payment method
• Travel credit or voucher for future use on the same airline
• No residual value on restrictive fares cancelled close to departure
