• 24-Hour Risk-Free Cancellation: You can cancel any booking within 24 hours and receive a full refund, as long as the flight is more than a week away.

• Refunds and Travel Credits: Refundable tickets receive a cash refund and non refundable ones get a travel credit which is valid for 12 months.

• Change Flight (within same day only): Move to an earlier or later flight on the same day (Fare difference may apply).
