Air Seychelles Cancellation and Refund Policy

Cancellation Policy

Air Seychelles understands that travel plans can change unexpectedly, so the airline has a flexible cancellation policy allowing passengers to change or cancel their bookings. However, the airline recommends that passengers check the fare conditions and restrictions before making any booking changes.

Cancellation Fees

The cancellation fees for Air Seychelles flights depend on the type of fare and the time of cancellation. Passengers can cancel their bookings without incurring any costs if they do so within 24 hours of booking. Beyond that time frame, the airline charges a cancellation fee based on the fare type.

Refunds

If passengers cancel their booking, they may be eligible for a refund, depending on the fare conditions. Refunds are processed in the same currency and the same form of payment used for the original booking. However, the processing time for refunds may vary, depending on the payment method and the bank's processing time.

Things to Remember 

1. The refund amount depends on the fare rules of your ticket.
2. Non-refundable tickets cannot be canceled and will not be refunded.
3. For a full refund of a refundable ticket, you must cancel it before the flight's departure time.
4. If you do not show up for your flight and do not cancel it beforehand, you will not receive a refund.
5. Canceling your ticket as soon as possible is recommended to avoid any penalties or fees.
