Refund Policy

Understanding refunds and cancellations for Flight Compass bookings

Important Notice

Flight Compass is a flight deal discovery service, not a travel booking agency.

All flights and travel services are booked directly with our trusted partners (airlines, Kiwi.com, and other authorized travel providers). Refund and cancellation policies are determined by these providers, not by Flight Compass.

How Refunds Work

1. Contact the Booking Provider

For any cancellations or refund requests, you must contact the company where you completed your booking (airline, Kiwi.com, etc.). Each provider has their own refund policy and process.

2. Check Your Booking Confirmation

Your booking confirmation email will contain the contact information for the travel provider and details about their cancellation policy.

3. Review Fare Rules

Refund eligibility depends on the type of ticket purchased (refundable vs. non-refundable), timing of cancellation, and the specific airline's policy.

Common Refund Scenarios

Flight Cancellations by Airline

If an airline cancels your flight, you're typically entitled to a full refund or rebooking at no extra cost, regardless of ticket type.

24-Hour Rule (US Flights)

For flights departing from or arriving in the US, you can cancel within 24 hours of booking for a full refund if the flight is more than 7 days away.

Non-Refundable Tickets

Most discounted tickets are non-refundable but may allow changes for a fee. The unused portion might be available as credit for future travel.

Travel Insurance

Consider purchasing travel insurance when booking to protect against unexpected cancellations due to illness, emergency, or other covered reasons.

Flight Compensation Rights

If your flight is delayed or cancelled, you may be entitled to compensation under various passenger rights regulations:

  • EU Rights (EC 261): Up to €600 for flights within/from EU
  • UK Rights: Similar protections for UK flights
  • US DOT Rules: Compensation for involuntary bumping
  • Montreal Convention: International flight protections

We partner with AirHelp to help you claim compensation for flight disruptions. Check their banner on our homepage for more information.
