How to Use the Flight Cancellation Fee Calculator

How much you get back when canceling a flight depends heavily on your fare type and how close you are to departure. Enter your ticket price, fare type, and cancellation timing to see the likely fee percentage and your estimated refund.

In general, basic and saver fares carry higher cancellation fees, and the fee grows larger the closer you get to departure. Flexible fares, on the other hand, typically skip the percentage-based fee entirely and only charge a small flat processing fee — worth considering upfront if your plans might change.

Keep in mind the rates shown here are illustrative averages based on common international fare rules. Exact fees vary by airline, so double-check the fare rules from your booking or contact the airline directly for the precise amount.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the actual refund differ by airline?

Yes. The fee percentages here are illustrative averages based on typical international fare rules. Actual fees depend on the airline and fare code, so always check the fare rules provided at booking.

Is a flexible fare really fee-free?

Flexible fares usually waive the percentage-based cancellation fee, but many airlines still charge a small flat processing fee. This calculator applies that flat fee for flexible fares.
