Airlines in India Want Government Change on Full Refund Tickets
Airlines in India Want Government Change on Full Refund Tickets. All Indian airlines want the government to change their movement to allow passengers to cancel tickets at no cost. In May, the Department of Aviation offered a full refund, without cancellation fees, for flyers canceling domestic flight tickets within 24 hours of booking a flight at least four days prior to departure.

While airlines generally maintain relatively low fares, other fees such as cancellation, excess baggage and seat selection have steadily increased in recent years to generate revenue.

"Another change is that if a person who is denied boarding does not receive another flight or if the option given does not satisfy him, the airlines will have to offer a full refund of the airline ticket," he said. a source. Almost all airlines are opposed.
