Trip.com Flight Refund Policy & Cancellation Steps

Trip.com’s flight refund rules depend on ticket type, airline policies, and when you cancel. Here’s what matters most:

Flight Refund Rules on Trip.com

• Refundable Tickets: You can get partial or full refunds, but airlines or Trip.com may deduct cancellation fees or service charges. Exact amounts vary by airline, fare type, and days before departure.
• Non-Refundable Tickets: The ticket fare itself isn’t refundable, but you may get back taxes, airport fees, or service charges (varies by airline and destination).
• Discounted/Promo Fares: Strict no-refund rules for the fare. In some cases, limited amounts (e.g., airport taxes) may be refunded—flexibility is very limited.
• 24-Hour Free Cancellation: Some airlines let you cancel for free within 24 hours of booking (check airline fare conditions to confirm).
