Changes and refunds

Pause before you cancel a flight

The right next step depends on who issued the ticket, what changed and which fare conditions apply. Build the facts before making a decision.

Change and cancellation checklist

Record the trigger

Was the change requested by you, caused by an airline schedule update, or caused by a missed connection? Keep the notice or message that explains what happened.

Identify the ticket issuer

The airline operating the flight and the company that issued the ticket may be different. Start with the issuer shown on your confirmation.

Compare the available remedies

Ask whether the provider offers a new date, rerouting, a credit or a refund. Check any deadline, fee, fare difference or unused-segment rule.

Keep the record

Save conversations, case numbers, receipts and confirmations. A clear timeline helps when following up.

No guaranteed refund: StateJourney can help frame the question, but the provider and fare terms decide eligibility.

Changes and refund FAQs

Should I cancel before asking about a refund?

Not automatically. First review the booking terms and ask the issuer what cancellation would do to your options.

What if the airline changed my schedule?

Keep the notice and ask the operating provider what rebooking or refund options apply to the specific change.
