## How do I review flight cancelation policies?

The cancelation policy for your flight is based on the airline and fare you select. Each airline defines and enforces its own policies, which usually fit into one of four categories on Hopper. If you have a specific question about an airline’s policy, you can find more information on their website.

### Types of cancelation policies

*   Fully refundable: If you cancel, you will get the original ticket value back
*   Partially refundable: If you cancel, you will get the original ticket value back minus the airline's cancelation fee
*   Non-refundable: If you cancel, you will not get any money back
*   Future travel credit: If you cancel, you will get a [future travel credit](https://help.hopper.com/r1dPUtdYP) back which you can use to book a new flight with the airline (restrictions apply)

Basic economy fares are always non-refundable. If you are purchasing a non-refundable or partially refundable flight, consider purchasing Hopper's Cancel for Any Reason product to give yourself more flexibility. Cancel for Any Reason provides a partial refund (percentage varies by purchase) or airline credit if eligible. See terms at time of purchase for specific refund percentage.

### To review your cancelation policy:

#### **On the app:**

1\. Tap **Help**

2\. Tap the flight you want to review

3\. Tap **Seats, Bags & Policies**

4\. Review **Cancelations** and tap **\>** to see cancelation policies on the airline's website

#### On the web:

1\. Log in to your account

2\. Click your name, then **My Trips**

3\. Click on the flight you want to review

4\. Click **View Details**

5\. Review **Fare Details**

  

You can also find information about your cancelation policy in the **Receipt and Itinerary** emails from Hopper under **Fare Rules**.

### 24 hour cancelation policies

It is common for airlines operating from North America to offer same-day free cancelation for flights booked and canceled within the same day—even if they are non-refundable. To see if you're eligible, start [canceling your flight](https://help.hopper.com/HyI_ItuKP) and review the details on the **Cancel My Trip** screen.

### Extenuating circumstances

Airlines are not known to make exceptions to their cancelation policies, except in the case of extenuating circumstances. Personal extenuating circumstances are defined by each airline, but are generally limited to family death or emergency medical situations. In order to prove your eligibility, airlines will request [relevant documentation](https://help.hopper.com/BJwq8F_tv) to support your case. Other non-personal extenuating circumstances include extreme weather or natural disasters. These exceptions are not granted on a per-person basis and often only  apply temporarily. Hopper is only able to process refunds based on what has been authorized by the airline. Contact Hopper support for more information.
