QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Who handles a refund if I booked through an OTA?

Check who issued the ticket and charged your payment method. The online travel agency may be the refund channel, while the operating airline should still confirm the cancellation and rerouting options.

What to check

Pull up the ticket receipt and look for the seller, payment method, unused segments, and any voucher or replacement you accepted. Those details usually explain why a refund is delayed or reduced.
