What is the revised Air France cancellation policy in 2023?

Air France has once again amended its cancellation policy due to COVID-19. The updated Air France cancellation policy allows you to cancel, change, or refund your ticket depending on when you purchased it and for what travel date, as indicated below.

  1. If your flight was cancelled, you can:

    1. Postpone your trip and travel on another flight, as long as you request before your flight’s departure.

    2. Cancel your trip and request a refund if you no longer wish to travel, subject to the laws and regulations of the country of ticket purchase. 

  2. If your ticket was issued before March 1, 2022, for travel on/before June 30, 2022, you can:

    1. Postpone your trip (except for group fares and allotments) and travel later at no additional charge, as long as you pay the difference in fares if the original fare is no longer available.

    2. Cancel your trip and:

      1. Request a refundable travel voucher to book your new flight anytime within the next 1 year from its date of issue, regardless of the fare conditions of your ticket. 

      2. Request a refund (except for group fares and allotments), if the fare conditions of your ticket permit. 

  3. If your ticket was issued before March 1, 2022, for travel on/after July 1, 2022, you can:

    1. Postpone your trip (except for group fares and allotments) and travel later at no additional charge, as long as you pay the difference in fares if the original fare is no longer available.

    2. Cancel your trip and:

      1. Request a non-refundable travel voucher to book a new flight. You can use the travel voucher anytime within the next 1 year from its date of issue.

      2. Request a refund (except for group fares and allotments), if the fare conditions of your ticket permit. 

  4. If your ticket was issued between March 1, 2022, and June 28, 2022, you can:

    1. Postpone your trip (except for group fares and allotments) and travel later at no additional charge, as long as you pay the difference in fares if the original fare is no longer available.

    2. Cancel your trip and:

      1. Request a non-refundable travel voucher to book a new flight. You can use the travel voucher anytime within the next 1 year from its date of issue.

      2. Request a refund (except for group fares and allotments), if the fare conditions of your ticket permit. 

  5. If your ticket was issued on/after June 29, 2022, you can:

    1. Make changes to your flight booking or cancel it, depending on the fare conditions of your ticket. You may be charged a change/cancellation fee and required to pay the difference in fares plus a service fee if you don’t make the changes online.

Air France Refund 

How does the Air France refund policy work?

  • The 24-hour refund policy for tickets to or from the United States will always apply. If you book your ticket from the United States and directly through Air France at least 7 days before departure, you can cancel it within 24 hours and receive a full refund—no matter what type of ticket you’ve purchased. 

  • You can also cancel your ticket and receive a full refund under the following conditions:

    • Air France cancels your flight.

    • Air France delays your flight by more than 5 hours.

    • Air France does not stop its flight at your destination. 

    • Air France denies you boarding on a confirmed booking despite your having checked in on time for your flight. 

    • Air France downgrades your booking class.

    • Your Air France flight is delayed and this causes you to miss a connecting flight in the same itinerary.

  • You can request a refund or a travel voucher online through My Bookings.

  • You can request a refund of your travel voucher online via My Bookings.

  • To request a refund of a Flying Blue award ticket, get in touch with Flying Blue customer service. 

  • If you purchased your ticket from a travel agent, you must contact them directly to request a refund. 

  • The Air France refund processing time can take several weeks due to a heavy overload. 

Note. If a single booking includes multiple passengers, the cancellation will apply to all the passengers within that booking. 

How to Know if Your Air France Ticket is Refundable

Check the fare conditions of your ticket to see whether you can cancel and refund your ticket or the confirmation email you received after booking your ticket. Alternatively, call Air France or your travel agent and ask.
