You can cancel your British Airways flight and receive a refund, but this depends on the type of ticket and the timing of your cancellation. If you cancel within 24 hours of booking and your flight is scheduled at least seven days later, you are eligible for a full refund without any penalties, as long as you booked directly with British Airways. For fully refundable tickets, you can cancel anytime before your flight and get all your money back. However, most economy or discounted tickets are non-refundable, meaning if you cancel, you usually will not get a cash refund. Instead, you might receive a travel credit or voucher for future travel, which may come with expiration dates or cancellation fees. If British Airways cancels your flight or makes major changes to your schedule, you are entitled to a full refund or an option to rebook. In special situations like illness or a family emergency, you may qualify for a refund by submitting proof. To cancel your flight, use the “Manage My Booking” option on the British Airways website or app. Refunds typically take several days to process and will be returned to the original payment method. If you booked through an agent, you should contact the agent for cancellations and refunds. It is important to review the fare rules before canceling since refund policies and fees vary by ticket type.
