Before cancelling your flights, there are some things to consider.
- Check your Fare type or Reward type for the conditions that apply to your flights and any fees that may apply. If you're unsure of the booking type, visit Manage booking and view the flight details.

Ancillary products
- If you’ve pre-selected your seat, pre-purchased additional baggage or made a car hire reservation, these will be cancelled when you cancel your flight.
- Any amounts paid for pre-selected seat requests, pre-purchased additional baggage or to offset flight carbon emissions won't be included in your Flight Credit or refund amount. Refer to the applicable terms and conditions for more information and if you can apply for a refund as these conditions are independent of fare cancellation conditions.
- If your booking includes travel insurance purchased when booked with your flight, contact your insurance provider directly for assistance with your booking.

Bookings that don't include Qantas Points
If your booking wasn't made using Qantas Points, then the cancellation conditions depend on the fare type you booked.
When cancelling your booking, you may be presented with one or both of these options.
Flight Credit
A Flight Credit may be issued when the value of your booking can be retained for future use. Once your Flight Credit has been issued, we'll email you the details. When redeeming your Flight Credit for your new itinerary, you'll need to pay any change fees applicable for your original fare type and any fare difference.
Refunds
If the cancellation conditions of the original booking permit a refund, you can request the value of your airfare for any untravelled flights plus any applicable taxes as a refund. Any cancellation and service fees will be deducted from the amount you'll receive. If the cancellation conditions of the original booking do not permit a refund, only the taxes will be refunded. Any amount due will be refunded to the original form of payment used.
Once you're ready to cancel your flight, simply:
- Retrieve your booking by entering your details below. You'll need your booking reference, which is on your confirmation email.
