Most of the airlines have goodwill policies in place for cancellations or modifications. For the most up to date information, please refer directly to the airline. Here’s a list of airline companies and links. Please be aware that many airlines worldwide have restricted our ability to process automated refunds via the GDS, including refundable tickets. As a result, BCD Travel has been forced to manage these processes manually to support our clients’ needs. Many airlines are now requiring us to complete and submit forms that serve as requests for refunds. We will continue to request refunds on your behalf via manual processes. However, we are unable to provide an estimated date for refund receipt, as airlines do not communicate processing time at any point during the submission process. We expect the revised airline procedures to delay travelers’ receipt of refunds. We appreciate your patience as we work diligently to submit refund requests on your travelers’ behalf.
