Refund Request Options

Thinking about the peace of mind of our passengers, we have made our ticketing policies more flexible. Here are the options we have for you in these times of change.

Option 1

Keep my ticket and plan for later, free of charge

Change your trip when you are ready to fly, with no additional charges. Current waiver conditions apply.

Receive full credit for the base fare you paid and use that credit towards a future trip for a period up to one year from the issue date of your original ticket or December 31st, 2021. Contact us when you are ready to travel again.  

Note: Groups, partially used, or redemption ticket holders please call us for assistance.

Option 2

Apply for a refund

If your plans changed and you will no longer travel, you may be entitled to a refund. 

Our refund processing times are longer than usual as we are experiencing an unprecedented volume of requests.  Refunds will be processed in the order they were received and which might take up to one month. The refunded value will be reflected after up to two of your bank account statements, depending on your bank's billing cycle.
