📋 Overview
Xpedioair is committed to fair and transparent refund practices. This page explains when you are entitled to a refund of Xpedioair's service fee, how to request one, and what to expect from airline refunds that we facilitate on your behalf. We distinguish between Xpedioair's own service fee and airline-imposed charges, as each has different refund rules.
If Xpedioair is unable to complete your requested change, your $39.99 service fee is refunded in full — no questions asked. Refunds are processed within 5–10 business days.
💲 Xpedioair Service Fee Refunds
Xpedioair's $39.99 service fee is refundable in the following circumstances:
- Airline unable to fulfill the change: If the airline declines your requested modification for any reason (including fare availability, system errors, or policy restrictions), your full service fee is refunded
- Request cancelled within 1 hour: If you change your mind and cancel your request within 60 minutes of payment and before our specialist has contacted the airline, you receive a full refund
- Duplicate request: If you accidentally submitted the same request twice and paid twice, the duplicate payment is refunded in full
- Compassion exception approved: If your case qualifies under our Compassion Exception Policy, the service fee is waived or refunded
Xpedioair's service fee is non-refundable once our specialist has successfully completed the requested change with the airline, even if you later decide you no longer want the change.
✈️ Airline Refunds (Facilitated by Xpedioair)
When you request a cancellation and refund, Xpedioair acts on your behalf to obtain the maximum possible refund from the airline. The amount you receive depends entirely on the airline's policies and your fare type:
| Ticket Type | Typical Refund | Xpedioair's Role |
|---|---|---|
| Refundable fare | Full cash refund | Submit cancellation request to airline |
| Non-refundable (within 24 hrs of booking) | Full cash refund (DOT rule) | Invoke DOT 24-hour rule with airline |
| Non-refundable (after 24 hrs) | Travel credit, minus cancellation fee | Negotiate lowest possible fee; seek waivers |
| Basic Economy | Credit or no refund (airline-specific) | Explore all available options |
| Southwest Airlines | Full travel credit, always | Submit cancellation request |
Airline refunds (whether cash or travel credit) go directly back to your original payment method through the airline's own systems. Xpedioair does not hold or disburse airline refund funds.
⏰ Refund Timelines
Refund processing times vary depending on the type of refund:
- Xpedioair service fee refund: Initiated within 1 business day of approval. Appears on your card statement within 5–10 business days depending on your bank.
- Airline cash refund: Airlines are required by DOT to process refunds within 7 business days for credit card purchases. Actual credit may take an additional 1–2 billing cycles to appear.
- Airline travel credit: Typically issued within 24–72 hours to your frequent flyer account or via email voucher.
Xpedioair will confirm when a refund has been initiated and provide any reference numbers from the airline.
