24*Hour Risk*Free Cancellation: This applies to all ticket types, including Basic Economy, allowing a full refund if cancelled within 24 hours of purchase, provided the flight is at least two days away.✈️🛩️🛬💺
Refundable Tickets: These can be cancelled for a full refund anytime before departure without fees, and generally include full*fare economy, business, and first*class tickets.
Non*Refundable Tickets (Main Cabin & Premium): After the 24*hour window, cash refunds are not available. You may receive a Trip Credit valid for a year, though cancellation fees might apply unless waived for elite status members.✈️🛩️🛬💺
Basic Economy Tickets: These cannot be cancelled or changed after the 24*hour grace period, except for the initial risk*free cancellation within 24 hours of booking for flights at least two days out.
