What are valid reasons to cancel a flight and get a refund?

• Injury and illness: If the passenger has suffered from injury and illness, that can be a valid reason for not showing up at the airport to board the flight. Travelling with other passengers at a high risk of transmitting viral diseases will not be feasible. If it is a superficial injury, coping with different processes might also be challenging. 

• Family Member death: Apart from that, if a family member dies due to some illness, you may be unable to board the flight, which eventually cancels the trip; in that case, you must provide the supporting document so that the airline authority can verify it and process your refund based on your given details. 

• Flight cancellations sometimes occur because of exceptional scenarios such as climatic conditions, hurricanes, or similar natural disasters that might not be suitable for flying; in that case, the airline cancels all the scheduled trips. In that case, you can claim a refund and receive the amount using your original payment details.

• Crucial situation: If it is a crucial situation, such as a terrorist act or evacuation, the airline will cancel the flight and compensate the passengers who have booked it. You can also deposit a claim request to receive a refund, and then the airline will do what is necessary after verifying the issues. 

• For active military: If the passenger is an active military member and a sudden change in plan causes the member to cancel the trip for military deployment, the airline might accept the cancellation and provide the refund at the given payment details.
