Bangkok Airways Cancellation Policy

The Bangkok Airways cancellation policy has been revised and the COVID-19 cancellation fee waivers have been withdrawn. Under the COVID-19 travel waivers (now over), you were allowed to postpone your trip or obtain a refund in the form of a Travel Voucher (both without penalty).

Bangkok Airways Cancellation Policy (post COVID-19 Fee Waivers)

Bangkok Airways’ cancellation policy post-COVID-19 travel waivers will remain as before. You can cancel your Bangkok Airways flight and ask for a refund in the following conditions:

• You book a flight ticket to, from, or within the United States directly from Bangkok Airways at least 1 week before departure and cancel it within 24 hours of booking.
• Bangkok Airways cancels your flight and you decide not to catch the alternative flight offered to you because it doesn’t suit you.
• Bangkok Airways causes you to miss a connecting flight on which you hold a confirmed reservation (you can also opt for an alternative flight to your destination at no additional charge).
• Bangkok Airways denies you boarding due to no fault of yours (in which case you will be entitled to compensation).
• Bangkok Airways fails to stop at your destination. 

In all other cases, you can cancel your flight booking—but for a fee. 

• The cancellation fee will depend on your fare type and sector. 
• The cancellation fee will be mentioned on your ticket. 
• If your ticket is non-refundable, only the unused part of the taxes will be refunded.
• You can cancel your ticket online through Manage My Booking or by phone—but to cancel a booking made through a travel agent, contact them directly.
• For details or clarification, contact Bangkok Airways:

• By phone
  • Worldwide +1-844-902-2949 (24/7)
  • Within Thailand 1771
  • Other locations +66 2270 6699 (8am–8pm)
• By email reservation@bangkokair.com

Tip: If Bangkok Airways cancels your flight and rebooks you on a flight that doesn’t suit you, you are entitled to claim a refund.

Bangkok Airways 24-Hour Cancellation Policy

Bangkok Airways 24-hour cancellation policy applies to all tickets booked directly through Bangkok Airways and to, from, or within the United States. Under this policy, you can cancel your ticket to/from/within the United States within 24 hours of booking it if your flight’s departure at the time of booking is not less than 1 week later. 

For the 24-hour cancellation policy to apply, you must fulfil all the conditions, i.e., you must have booked your ticket directly from Bangkok Airways; it must be to/from/within the United States; it must be booked 1 week before departure; and you must cancel it within 24 hours of booking. 

If you book your ticket from a third party, or your ticket is not to/from/within the United States, or if you cancel your flight after 24 hours of booking, or if your flight’s departure at the time of booking is less than 1 week later, you may not qualify for a penalty-free refund. 

The 24-hour cancellation rule is a standard set by the US Department of Transportation. It applies to all airlines operating from, to, and within the United States—and covers all types of tickets without exception.
