Etihad Airways 24 Hour Cancellation Policy | Refund Policy

Yes, all tickets which have been booked directly with Etihad Airways can be cancelled within 24 hours of booking. But Etihad Airways Cancellation Policy requires you to cancel up to 4 hours before the departure. You will have to pay 10 % more in cancellation fee if you cancel within 4 days of the departure. Cancelling a ticket within 4 hours of the departure will typically require you to pay a no-show fee. Our Air1Network blog will consider the usual queries on cancelling tickets that passengers have.

 What is the penalty for not cancelling an Etihad ticket?

Failing to cancel an Etihad Airways ticket before departure can result in significant penalties, primarily in the form of a no-show fee.

Etihad considers a passenger a no-show if they fail to cancel or change a booking up to 4 hours before the scheduled flight departure.

Under Etihad refund policy, your entire ticket payment will be withheld. This means you will not get a refund. The onward flight segment will be cancelled. The return flight may also be cancelled, but this is discretionary. Here are several things you must remember about refunds.

• All the extras you booked (seat selection and baggage fee etc.) on the flight will not be refunded.

• You can check the eligibility for refund eligibility using your booking reference or ticket number and last name.

A few ticket types also enable you to cancel and get refund up to 24 hours before departure. The airline or Air1Network can be reached on 19143038393 or +1-844-414-9223 if you want to know whether you can cancel Etihad flight.

Do I have to pay cancellation fee if I upgraded an Etihad ticket?

Upgrading a ticket to Business Deluxe will not mean that you can avoid paying a cancellation fee. This is because the fare conditions for the original ticket you purchased shall remain in effect and will be applicable even if your bid has been accepted. If the original ticket was booked with Economy Comfort fare, you will have to pay the charges applicable to this fare class. Here are some things you must remember about upgraded tickets.

• Cancelling less than 4 days before your scheduled flight departure will require you to pay an extra 10% cancellation fee.

• In the case of the loss of a family member, there is no cost for cancelling an Etihad flight.

 Can I avoid the penalty on cancelling an Etihad ticket?

You can avoid a penalty on cancelling an Etihad ticket only if you strike it off within 24 hours of the booking. The penalty or Etihad cancellation charges you pay after this will be assessed on the basis of the fare class of your ticket. You will be charged the least if you have a ticket booked with Deluxe fare in Business or Economy. Basic and Value tickets in Economy class cannot be cancelled or changed. Etihad fare rules may enable you to get credits after the deduction of cancellation charges. These credits can be used to pay for extras or flights. Here are several things you must keep in mind about cancelling a ticket.

• The most restrictive cancellation rule will apply if the flights have segments with more than one fare class.

• You will not be asked to pay a no-show fee if you have met with an accident or a close relative has passed away.

You may have to pay Etihad cancellation fees, even if you have upgraded a ticket to Business class. You can reach out to the airline or Air1Network +19143038393 or +1-844-414-9223 to know how your cancellation fee will be assessed.
