minus-squaremozz@mbin.grits.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up15·5 months agoEvery airline I have purchased even nonrefundable tickets from has been willing to refund it no questions asked within 24 hours. VITAL caveat: This DOESN’T APPLY if you’re going through Kayak or whatever. Just buy direct from the airline. I learned this the hard way.
minus-squaredelirious_owl@discuss.onlinelinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·5 months agoYeah but some resellers like kayak offer 48 hour refunds. Its very useful for those annoying border control agents that insist you have an exit flight for your one-way journey. Just cancel it after entry.
