Sometimes, sudden changes in circumstances happen, which forces travelers to cancel their travel plan. No sufficient amount of preparation can be done when travel plans are abruptly changed. When this happens, it is possible that even booked flights will be cancelled since it cannot be used by the passengers anymore. Here are different measures that travellers can undertake whenever the need to cancel a booked flight arises.
When cancelling flights, it is best to determine all of the pertinent information regarding the flight first. Travelers should secure the e-ticket and credit card they used to pay for the transaction. Being able to determine all relevant data about the flight will help the travelers ease the process of cancelling flight reservations. Travellers should also check on their tickets if cancelling their flights will be refundable or not (in compliance with the refund period).
After compiling all flight information, travellers should then contact the party who arranged the flight for them. People who directly booked with the airlines should coordinate with the airline flight reservation representative. Those who bought tickets through travel agencies should communicate with travel agents to facilitate the cancellation of flight bookings. These parties will be able to tell and advise the travelers if there are other requirements needed to be accomplished before cancelling the flight.
Airline representatives and travel agents commonly ask the flight information of the travellers when cancelling flight bookings. Information commonly asked includes personal information, flight details, passport details and credit card information. After verifying this information, they will cancel the flight through their system.
To be sure, travellers should also inquire whether they would be receiving cash refund for cancelled flight or not because there are airline companies which do not allow refunds. You should also ask how long it will take before they receive the refund. Some airline companies allow for complete cash refund if the cancellation is done within 24 hours from the booking date. The common practice for most airline companies is to charge a premium (which is deducted from the proceeds of the cash refund) as cancellation fee. Cancellation fees usually depend on the length of period prior to the flight date. Cancellation fees tend to be higher when the cancellation date is closer to the flight date.
Those who booked through credit cards usually receive the refund several days after cancelling the flight. For those who opted for cash payments, it will take several weeks before the cash refund is mailed back to their residence or deposited in their bank account.
Airlines now employ different regulations in order to prevent frequent cancellation of flights by their passengers. Rampant cancellation of flight seats which are not rebooked means lost revenues for airlines. Travelers are encouraged to inquire first about the cancellation policies of the airline before booking and paying for the flight.
Travelers can also take advantage of travel waivers when they are issued by the airline companies. Travel waivers are given out when there is bad weather, security problems or other circumstances that can negatively affect the flight. Whenever it is available, it can be used to bail out and cancel the flight the traveller is expecting to miss.
