Cancel and refund requests

As travel plans can change unexpectedly, we offer you the possibility to cancel your booking and obtain a refund according to your selected travel fare. If you change your mind up to 24 hours after your online booking, you may even cancel your reservation without penalty, provided that the first flight in your itinerary has not departed. Airline fees, optional payment charges and travel insurance fees remain non-refundable.

Good to know

An administration fee of €40 applies to all refund requested via our Service Centre, Social Media and all other offline channels. The admin fee applies per ticket. 

In case of combining a non-refundable fare for your outbound flight(s) and a refundable fare for your inbound flight(s) - or vice versa - the complete ticket is non-refundable as for this type of ticket, the fare rules of the non-refundable ticket are applicable.

In case the standard cancellation fee is higher than the basic fare + international surcharge, we charge the basic fare + international surcharge instead of the standard cancellation fee.

A flight cancellation or schedule change doesn't allow a refund of the rebooking fee.
