When you cancel within 24 hours of booking (for flights booked at least 7 days in advance), you are eligible for a full refund with no extra fees. Refundable tickets offer full or partial refunds with minimal charges while Saver\/Economy fares include cancellation fees or only provide travel credit. The later you cancel, the higher the charges and a missed flight results in a \u2018no show\u2019 penalty. If your flight is cancelled by Etihad, you can claim a full refund or free rebooking regardless of fare type.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_Cancel_My_Etihad_Flight_Booking_for_Free\"><\/span><b>Can I Cancel My Etihad Flight Booking for Free?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes. You can cancel your Etihad flight for free but there are certain conditions. Etihad has a 24 hour risk free cancellation window for direct bookings, meaning if you cancel within 24 hours and your flight to India is scheduled at least 7 days later, you\u2019re eligible for a full refund with no charges. Outside of this window, free cancellation depends on your fare type\u2014premium\/flexible tickets (like Business\/Flex fares) allow cancellations with little or no fee while Saver\/ Economy fares include penalties or offer refunds as travel credit rather than cash. In all other cases, cancellation fees apply and the refund amount is determined by the fare rules attached to your ticket.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_There_Cancellation_Charges_for_Etihad_Tickets\"><\/span><b>Are There Cancellation Charges for Etihad Tickets?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes.

Refundable tickets give you full or almost full refunds to your original payment method while non refundable tickets include cancellation fees and provide travel credit (Etihad Credit) or a partial refund. Even with non refundable tickets, unused taxes and some airport charges are refunded. The final amount is calculated after applying all fees and fare rules.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_24_Hour_Cancellation_Policy_of_Etihad_Airways\"><\/span><b>What is 24 Hour Cancellation Policy of Etihad Airways?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Etihad Airways has a 24 hour risk free cancellation policy that lets you cancel your flight booking without any charges if several conditions are met. Your flight must be booked at least 7 days before departure and you need to cancel within 24 hours of booking. If eligible, you will receive a full refund to your original payment method with no fees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Etihad 24 hour cancellation policy mainly applies to tickets booked directly with Etihad, while third party bookings follow their own rules.
