Airline Fees and Policies

Check with your travel arranger or airline websites for exact rules and how they pertain to your specific airline and fare type.

  • Most nonrefundable tickets must be used on the ticketed date of travel.
  • Many tickets are non-refundable, while others may be subject to a refund penalty, which limit their refundable value. In most cases, the words “non-refundable” or “non-ref” are clearly printed on the ticket and ticket receipt.
  • Certain tickets allow no changes/refunds at all. Other tickets may allow changes (other than a name change) with a fee.  Most airlines charge a $150 fee at the time an unused ticket is exchanged.
  • Fully unused non refundable tickets may be applied as a credit towards the purchase of one new ticket in the passenger's name.
  • Travel must commence within 1 year of date of original issue.
  • If the fare for the new journey is lower, any residual amount will be forfeited. Additional fare amount and change fees may apply..

Customers with non-refundable tickets that allow changes will have a full year from the date their original ticket was issued to reschedule without losing the value of their ticket, provided they cancel their reservations prior to scheduled departure time.
