Yes, you can cancel British Airways (BA) flights and receive a refund, depending on the fare type and timing. If you cancel within 24 hours of booking and the departure is at least seven days away, you are eligible for a full refund, minus a service fee. Refundable tickets, such as flexible economy, business, and first class, can be canceled any time before departure for a full refund. Non-refundable tickets do not qualify for a cash refund after 24 hours but may be eligible for a travel voucher. If British Airways cancels or significantly delays your flight, you are entitled to a full refund or rebooking, regardless of fare type, under UK and EU passenger rights laws. Award bookings using Avios points can be canceled before departure for a refund of taxes and a redeposit of points, typically minus a small cancellation fee. If canceled after departure or if the fare is non-flexible, Avios may not be refunded. Refund requests can be made via the British Airways website, mobile app, or by contacting customer support. Refunds to cards are usually processed within 7 business days. In special situations like medical emergencies or bereavement, BA may allow cancellations and refunds with valid documentation. Travel extras like seats or bags may not be refunded unless included in the fare or required by law. Cancellation policies apply only to bookings made directly with BA; third-party bookings must be canceled through the respective travel agency.
