At Cheap Flights Hall (cheapflightshall.com), we strive to ensure a smooth flight booking experience. All airline ticket bookings made through our platform or customer service desk are subject to the specific fare rules and conditions of the respective operating airlines, along with the agency policies outlined below.
1. 24-Hour Free Cancellation & Void Window
In accordance with standard airline regulations and U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) guidelines, most flight bookings may be cancelled or voided within 24 hours of ticket issuance for a full refund, provided the booking was completed at least 7 days (168 hours) prior to the scheduled departure time.
- This policy applies to qualifying standard scheduled flights issued on participating airlines.
- Certain basic economy fares, promotional flash deals, and instant non-refundable consolidator tickets may have airline-mandated restrictions on 24-hour voiding.
- To request a 24-hour cancellation, you must contact our customer support team immediately at support@cheapflightshall.com or via phone before the 24-hour window expires.
2. Voluntary Flight Cancellation by Passenger
If you choose to cancel your flight reservation after the initial 24-hour window, the following airline fare rules apply based on your purchased ticket type:
| Fare Category | Cancellation Permitted | Refund / Credit Form | Applicable Fees |
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-Refundable Standard Economy | Yes (prior to departure) | Future Airline Travel Credit / Voucher | Airline change/cancellation penalty + fare difference + agency service fee |
| Refundable / Flexible Fares | Yes (prior to departure) | Original Payment Method / Credit Card | Subject to airline administrative refund fee |
| Basic Economy / Saver Fares | Generally Non-changeable & Non-refundable | No refund or credit after 24-hour window | 100% forfeiture of ticket value by airline |
| Business / First Class (Refundable) | Yes (prior to departure) | Original Payment Method | Airline processing fee (if any) as per fare rules |
Please note: Most discounted commercial airfares are non-refundable. When an airline permits cancellation on a non-refundable ticket, the airline retains a cancellation penalty and issues the remaining balance as a reusable Future Airline Credit valid for a specified period (typically 12 months from original issue date).
Important: You must request flight cancellations at least 4 hours before the scheduled flight departure. Failure to cancel prior to departure constitutes a "No-Show", resulting in total forfeiture of the ticket value by the airline.
3. Involuntary Cancellations, Flight Delays & Schedule Changes by Airlines
Airlines occasionally make adjustments to flight schedules, cancel flights due to operational reasons, bad weather, air traffic control, mechanical issues, or technical requirements. In such cases:
- Significant Schedule Changes (Over 2–3 Hours): If an airline significantly modifies your departure or arrival time and the proposed alternate flight is unacceptable to you, we will request a full refund or waiver on your behalf from the operating airline.
- Flight Cancellations by Airline: If the airline cancels your flight and does not provide an acceptable alternate routing to your destination, you are entitled to a full refund of the unused flight portion under airline conditions of carriage.
- Involuntary Rerouting: If your flight is rerouted or delayed causing a missed connecting flight, the operating carrier is responsible for re-accommodating you on the next available flight.
4. No-Show Policy
A "No-Show" occurs when a passenger fails to check in, board, or notify the airline/agency of cancellation prior to the flight's scheduled departure time.
- Airlines automatically cancel all remaining segments (including return flights) in the event of a no-show.
- No-show tickets hold zero monetary value and cannot be refunded, rebooked, or converted to travel credit by the airline.
5. Flight Date & Route Changes
If you wish to change your travel dates, routing, or flight times:
- Changes are subject to airline fare rules, seat availability in the same or higher booking class, and airline change fees.
- Any difference between the original airfare and the new airfare at the time of exchange must be paid by the passenger.
- Name changes and ticket transfers to another person are strictly prohibited by airline regulations under TSA Secure Flight rules.
6. Ancillary Products, Baggage & Seat Selection
Payments made for airline add-ons—including seat assignments, pre-paid baggage, priority boarding, in-flight meals, and booking service fees—are strictly non-refundable once processed by the airline or third-party service provider.
7. Refund Processing Timeline
Once an eligible cancellation or refund request is submitted and authorized by the operating carrier:
- Credit Card / Debit Card Refunds: Processed within 7 to 14 business days, depending on your bank and the airline’s billing cycle.
- Airline Travel Credits / Vouchers: Issued and delivered electronically via email within 24 to 48 hours of airline processing.
- All refunds are returned directly to the original form of payment used during the initial booking.
