Universal Airline and Travel Agency Refund Policy
Contact Support: 📞 +1(833)-870-2546| ✉ support@[[email protected]].com

At [Company Name or "our agency"], we value transparency and strive to provide travelers with clear, fair, and timely refund policies. This Refund Policy applies to all airline tickets, travel bookings, and associated services purchased through our platforms, including affiliated agencies and airline partners.

Travelers may qualify for refunds under specific conditions outlined in this policy. This includes voluntary cancellations, airline-initiated changes, travel disruptions, and other qualifying circumstances.

If you have questions or wish to initiate a refund, please contact our 24/7 refund department at +1(833)-870-2546.

  1. Refund Eligibility

Refund eligibility depends on several factors, including:

Type of ticket (refundable, non-refundable, basic economy, etc.)

Time of cancellation (before or after departure)

Cause of cancellation (voluntary or involuntary)

Airline and fare rules

Booking channel (direct or through third-party agents)

Not all bookings are refundable. Refunds are subject to the fare conditions accepted at the time of purchase.

  1. Types of Refundable Scenarios
    2.1 Voluntary Refunds

These occur when the traveler chooses to cancel the flight on their own.

Refundable tickets: Eligible for a full or partial refund based on airline terms.

Non-refundable tickets: Typically ineligible for a cash refund but may qualify for a travel credit or voucher.

Basic Economy tickets: Often non-refundable and not eligible for changes unless under 24-hour cancellation (see Section 3).

2.2 Involuntary Refunds

These happen when the airline cancels or significantly changes the flight.

Schedule changes over 3 hours

Flight cancellations due to weather or operational issues

Denied boarding due to overbooking

Route disruptions

In such cases, travelers are entitled to a full refund, regardless of ticket type.

2.3 Force Majeure Refunds

If travel is affected by natural disasters, government-imposed travel bans, war, or health emergencies (e.g., pandemics), special refund waivers may apply. Documentation may be required.

  1. 24-Hour Risk-Free Cancellation

Per U.S. Department of Transportation rules, travelers who book flights at least 7 days before departure are eligible to cancel within 24 hours of booking for a full refund, regardless of fare type.

This applies only to bookings made directly through the airline or approved agencies. Call +1(833)-870-2546 to request a same-day cancellation refund.

  1. Special Cases for Refunds
    8.1 Medical Emergencies

If a traveler is unable to fly due to illness or injury, they may qualify for a full or partial refund with documentation. A doctor’s note or hospital discharge summary is required.

8.2 Death of Passenger

A full refund is available in the event of the death of the passenger or immediate family member. Proof such as a death certificate must be provided.

8.3 Duplicate Bookings

Refunds are permitted for accidental duplicate bookings. The traveler must notify within 24 hours and provide both booking references.

  1. Third-Party Bookings

If your flight was booked through an external travel website, tour agency, or booking portal (e.g., Expedia, Priceline), refund requests must be made directly through that platform.

We are not responsible for delays or denials initiated by third-party sellers.

Non-refundable fare with no extenuating circumstances

No-show without prior cancellation

Expired ticket or travel credit
