Refund of the entire amount or the amount associated to the segment that was not used. The refund can be done through a voucher or back on the same form of payment. If you choose the voucher you also receive a bonus of 20% of the total refundable amount.
Rebooking free of charge for cancellations or schedule changes that were notified in advance, can be done online or through our call center. For delays or last minute cancellations, you can request free rebooking only through the call center.
For cancellations or schedule changes notified in advance, you can request assistance up to three hours before the initial time of departure.

Schedule changes or delays under three hours are considered minor and any change will be done as per our travel conditions.
