British Airways offers a flexible 24-hour cancellation policy that allows passengers to cancel their flight within 24 hours of booking for free. This means that if you book your flight and your plans change within the first 24 hours, you can cancel without penalty, provided that the flight is more than 7 days away.
This policy is applicable to all ticket types, whether refundable or non-refundable. If canceled within the 24-hour window, you are eligible for a full refund to your original form of payment. After this window, the cancellation terms vary depending on the ticket type and fare conditions.
To cancel within 24 hours, simply log into the British Airways website or app, go to “Manage My Booking,” and select the flight you want to cancel. The system will guide you through the steps and process your refund accordingly.
