If you’re a frequent traveller or you’re planning on buying an airline ticket in the future, you may want to know how to cancel your airline ticket without having to pay a fee, etc.  There are a few things you have to keep in mind before you even buy your airline ticket.  This is important because there will be terms and conditions associated with the ticket.  Here’s what you need to look out for –

• Check and see if the airline ticket has a refund policy.  See if you can return this ticket without being charged.
• See if there will be a fee charged to your bill if you cancel your ticket.
• See if there’s a deadline where you have to cancel your ticket by.  Some tickets will make you cancel them by a certain time or else you’ll get charged a fee.

How do I cancel my ticket without paying?

The first thing you’re going to want to do is gather up all the information you have associated with this flight.  You’re going to want to gather your e-ticket or the actual ticket.  The next thing you’ll want to do is find out who you purchased the ticket through.  If you purchased the ticket though a company like Travelocity, you’ll want to contact them.  If you bought the ticket through the airline, you’ll want to contact the company itself.

Next you’ll want to call the airline or the travel agency and explain to them that you want to cancel the ticket.  Most of the times they will ask why.  When cancelling your card, they will ask for a few details such as your ticket number, name, etc.  Make sure you have all of this ready.

Remember, it’s important that you purchase all of your airline tickets with an airline credit card.  This is because it’ll be a lot easier to get a credit directly back onto your card itself.  If you pay by cash or check, you may find that there’s a delay in your refund process.
