Plans change. Whether it's a personal emergency, a schedule conflict, or simply the wrong ticket — Xpedioair handles your airline cancellation and fights for the biggest refund or travel credit possible.
This is the most important rule every U.S. traveler should know. Under Department of Transportation regulations, all U.S. airlines must provide a full refund to the original payment method if you cancel within 24 hours of booking — as long as the flight is at least 7 days away. This applies to every fare type, including Basic Economy.
✅ Booked in the last 24 hours? You qualify for a full refund right now. Submit a cancellation request immediately — this window is time-sensitive.
After 24 hours, refund options depend on your fare type and airline policy. Xpedioair always explores all available waivers before processing a fee-based cancellation.
Xpedioair proactively looks for every opportunity to reduce or eliminate cancellation fees:
See our Compassion Exception Policy for details on qualifying for a waiver of Xpedioair's own service fee.
