Alaska Airlines, like most airlines, has a ticket cancellation and refund policy that varies depending on the type of ticket you purchase and when you cancel your flight. Here's an overview of Alaska Airlines cancellation and refund policy as of my last knowledge update in July 2023. Please note that policies may have changed since then, so verifying the current policy on the Alaska Airlines website or by contacting customer service is essential.

1. Refundable Tickets: If you purchased a refundable ticket, you can cancel your flight any time before departure, and you should be eligible for a full refund to your original form of payment. These tickets are more expensive but offer flexibility.
2. Non-Refundable Tickets: If you purchased a non-refundable ticket, the rules for cancellations and refunds are more restrictive:

• Within 24 Hours: If you cancel a non-refundable ticket within 24 hours of booking, you are generally eligible for a full refund to your original form of payment.
• After 24 Hours: If you cancel a non-refundable ticket after the initial 24-hour period, the key is typically non-refundable. However, you may be eligible for a credit voucher for the value of the ticket minus any applicable change or cancellation fees.

      3. Primary Economy Tickets: Basic Economy tickets are often non-refundable and may have more restrictive change and cancellation policies. Review the specific terms and conditions of your ticket when booking.

      4. Award Tickets: If you booked your flight with miles or through the Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan, the cancellation and refund policies will depend on the specific terms of your award ticket. Typically, award tickets can be canceled, but miles may only sometimes be refundable.

      5. Elevate Fare: Passengers with an Elevate Fare ticket have additional flexibility. Elevate Fare tickets are typically fully refundable, and changes can be made without a fee.

To cancel a flight and request a refund or credit, log in to your Alaska Airlines account on their website or contact customer service. Remember that change and cancellation fees may apply to non-refundable tickets, and the fee amount can vary based on fare type and when changes or cancellations are made.

Always read and understand the terms and conditions of your specific ticket before booking, and check for any updates to Alaska Airlines flights policies since my last knowledge update in July 2023. Airlines' policies can change, so having the most up-to-date information is crucial when making travel plans.
