  • FaresMatch facilitates the process and provides support but cannot guarantee a refund if the travel provider’s policies do not allow it.

2. Cancellation Policy

a. Flight Cancellations by Customers

  • Eligibility: Customers can request cancellations for tickets booked through FaresMatch. However, cancellations are governed by the airline's specific policies.
  • Non-Refundable Tickets: Some tickets, such as promotional fares or discounted tickets, may be non-refundable. These terms will be communicated at the time of booking.

c. Airline-Initiated Cancellations

  • Additional services, such as compensation or alternative travel arrangements, are at the discretion of the airline.

3. Refund Policy

Refunds are processed in accordance with the airline or travel provider’s refund policy.

    • 5-7 business days: For most airlines and travel providers.
    • Up to 30 days: In cases requiring additional verification or processing time.

c. Refund for Partially Used Tickets

  • If you cancel a partially used ticket, the refund amount will be calculated based on the airline’s rules for partially used fares.

b. Involuntary Changes

  • If the airline modifies your itinerary (e.g., schedule changes or route cancellations), we will assist you in rebooking or claiming a refund.
