How to get a Refund on a Non Refundable Flight (in 2022)

[@fi7959]

I don't understand how non-refundable tickets are even legal, if you have to cancel for unforseen circumstances, the airlines get to pocket your money AND re-sell your seat/s.

[@CaelaCook]

yes, its not fair, unfortunately there isn't enough competition in the industry so customer service doesn't matter

[@_nursepat]

I wish I would’ve said this. My mom is in the hospital on life support and they still denied a refund or flight credit

[@CaelaCook]

I’m so sorry to hear that maybe you can refute the charge on your card given the circumstances

[@peggywilliams3067]

Thank you for posting this. I had the exact same situation. It also depends on who you get on the phone. Yesterday I got someone with a baby crying in the background and she basically told me I could get on a flight with COVID. Watched this, and tried again today and got a less stressed/nicer person. First she said I couldn't get anything for a "saver" fare but when I mentioned I have COVID and asked whether I should go ahead and try to get on the plane and maybe get others sick she put me on hold and talked to her supervisor. Should be getting credit to my wallet for a future flight.

[@CaelaCook]

Awesome! Don’t know how long this will work with Covid coming to an end!

[@Karra__with_a_K]

O MY GOSH ! It worked 455$ back in my pocket🙆‍♀️ I couldn’t get the 75$ back on the connector. Glad I got it where it counts 👏🥰

[@CaelaCook]

Wahoo glad it worked for you!

[@Karra__with_a_K]

@@CaelaCook thank you so much🙏🏻

[@CaelaCook]

You bet!

[@masonking2639]

Did you have to provide documentation?

You are NOT being dishonest when you do this. These airlines are ALL of them crocks. Remember even the ones that come out as the "best" of the year in this or that or any other metrics, they are ALL crocks and from the moment you are doing the reservation in their website they use countless tricks to get the most of the money out of you (against your convenience sometimes not even adding value to your experience). When you have to wait almost 1 hour for a rep. they're being not good to you . When the rep that responds your call can barely speak English and you can't hear them good (for being cheap overseas labor) they're not being honest with you. Do this an more in order to get your money back with all, all the airlines

[@CaelaCook]

So true!

[@PajeroMagalpoc-m2v]

I made double booking, same name time date and place, and they said no refund if i cancel😢

[@CaelaCook]

Omg just wow. Maybe try refuting it with your card company as a double charge

[@vanessaacosta6144]

Im hoping this helps me I purchased 4 tickets to El Salvador but when I looked up to travel there it’s on high alert and too afraid to go with my kids ☹️

[@CaelaCook]

Let us know what happens!

[@OriolesFanNY]

Im cancelling my flight to Germany in November. Purchased a non refundable ticket round trip plus seat reservation cost me $1000. I went to the app to cancel and they will only refund me $155. Now im pondering if i should just go.

[@CaelaCook]

😣

[@silviofilice]

So I used my credit card points through American Express travel and ATB travel… any suggestions

[@CaelaCook]

Hello, and thank you for watching it. Unfortunately I don’t have any experience with the point system.

[@user-vw4ij1kl3e]

How do I get a refund with virgin atlantic airlines I decided I didn’t want to go and I don’t Know what to do

[@CaelaCook]

Hello this technique can be used across all airlines. It may not hold that much weight in the future as Covid isn’t as big of a concern anymore. Thank you for watching!

[@rosachavez6394]

Does one call the airline a couple days prior to flight day?

[@CaelaCook]

I called a couple of days befor

[@Suraj-fn9zs]

Hi there, i booked a flight from India to Canada and there is a layover in USA but i did not know that you need a US visa for stay now I can’t travel because I don’t have visa for US then i tried calling them about refund but they can only give me credit which is useless for me. Can you please help me with something it’s $1350 😞

[@CaelaCook]

Even if you stay in the airport?

[@AlcenkenLorvenak]

you don’t need a visa if you stay in airport for layover hours because it is not your final destination.

[@designergenius]

it helped, thank you so much for sharing your experience.

[@CaelaCook]

Of course! Glad this video is still valid!

[@charleshoward9644]

Thank you for sharing this video. I have a question. Would you be able to give advice on how to obtain refunds involving international service and with partnerships? I’m asking because I know someone who traveled internationally and because of a traffic construction project near the airport missed his flight and was forced to buy a full fare ticket for his return flight. The fare was the same. Not only was there traffic congestion affecting airport traffic, the employees would not assist with check in since the kiosks did not work delaying a possibility of making the scheduled flight. The employee said use the ‘app’ or website to make changes, which then forced to purchase a full fare ticket. So the question is, if a certain type of occurrence that is affecting vehicle traffic in and out of the airport and the airline serving that airport doesn’t inform you, shouldn’t the airline be held responsible for not letting passengers know?

[@CaelaCook]

Airlines right now have zero customer service. They really don’t care about customers at all. The best thing to do is to file a claim for a refund online and make your best case there. Best of luck!

[@yussefhealthy5345]

I want to to get my money back 😩 from turkish airline they denied

[@CaelaCook]

Did you try using this technique?

[@yussefhealthy5345]

No actually I didn't because they told me that my flight is impossible to refund

[@closetmonsterjesse]

@@CaelaCook Great "technique" lol. I feel the same way you do, F these price-gouging airlines. Mostly useless saps who work there and scam decent folks.

[@mohammadmansour8147]

Turkish airlimes are the worst

[@ابوقيصرالحلو]

Hi . If I cancel my flight booking after 23 hours from booking. I refund all price or its discount?

[@CaelaCook]

Hello it depends on the airline and your ticket

[@MateaDjuric2306]

I dont think I can get because no one was sick….So Idk how to get refund :(

[@CaelaCook]

You can always read through the terms and see if there any loop holes

[@MateaDjuric2306]

@@CaelaCook it is too late I think…and it was ryanair

[@DGARC001]

What if you bought the flight protection plan

[@CaelaCook]

Thank you can probably just use that for a refund!

[@itiscool2beyoung41]

How can I get refund from Ryanair? Thnx

[@CaelaCook]

Hello I’m not familiar with that airline, also airlines are cracking down on refunding for Covid now.

[@mikeg3281]

Old video.. today you dont get a refund

[@CaelaCook]

Most likely

[@gyanulama8061]

How about the expire ticket I never know there is expire date my ticket is expire they didn’t allowed me to rebook or refund I lost my $2k 😢😢😢😢. The guy who book my ticket didn’t mention to me there is expire What is the solution will be can you let me know please will appreciate it. Thanks

[@CaelaCook]

I don’t know what you mean by an expiration ticket typically you would buy a ticket for a certain day and time. Please elaborate

[@masonking2639]

Did you have to provide documentation?

[@CaelaCook]

Nope!

[@konnziatv7111]

[@konnziatv7111]

Any advice on scumbag airlines like CopaAir that refuses to give any refunds? They told me the only way to get a refund when I asked about it after initially booking a flight to Colombia is to show documentation that I have covid. Do you recommend forging a doctors note?

[@CaelaCook]

That decisions is yours to make, you could show a positive test rather than forging a note… just an idea

[@closetmonsterjesse]

@@CaelaCook Good advice. Do you know where I could get a picture (or actual test) of a positive covid test result to show proof and therefore request a refund? Thanks!

[@Al-iq4gq]

Tell me how you done it I’m travelling to Colombia aswell and using the copa air toi and I don’t want to travel no more because it’s not safe please help
