Alaska Airlines Cancellation & Refund

Alaska Airlines cancellation policy

Alaska Airlines offers a flexible cancellation policy for its passengers updated as of 16 January 2025. The cancellation fees depend on the type of fare purchased. If you book a refundable ticket, you can cancel your flight without a fee and receive a full refund. However, Alaska Airlines typically provides a credit for future travel minus a cancellation fee for non-refundable tickets. For most tickets, cancellations must be made at least 60 minutes before the scheduled departure time. If you need to cancel a flight within 24 hours of booking, you are entitled to a full refund, regardless of whether your ticket is refundable or non-refundable. This applies to flights booked at least 7 days in advance.

If your flight is canceled by Alaska Airlines or significantly delayed, you may be eligible for a refund. This refund includes non-refundable tickets as well. If you wish to request a refund for a flight cancellation or a major delay, you can submit your request online or by calling the airline. In some cases, passengers may be eligible for a refund as a travel credit for future bookings.

Refund process
