Every booking platform determines the refund policy, what occurs when you cancel, and what you&#8217;ll get. Spending a few minutes reading before you book could spare you a lot of headaches and that surprise deduction later. Here is what you need to know before booking your last-minute flight to India or the USA.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Last-Minute_Flight_Bookings\"><\/span>Last-Minute Flight Bookings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Booking just a few days before departure is completely different. Airlines often charge more because the cheaper seats are long gone, and they know travelers booking late usually have to go. Plus, the rules around cancellations get a little tighter. That\u2019s where people often get caught, the actual policies that no one really reads until it\u2019s too late. And let\u2019s be real, most travellers don\u2019t read it either until a plan changes, and suddenly that non-refundable label hits harder than you thought.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding your cancellation rights gives you comfort. It\u2019s not about reading booking policies for fun,\u00a0 it\u2019s about knowing where you stand so you don\u2019t end up paying for what you didn\u2019t use.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Flight_Cancellation_Policies_in_India\"><\/span>Flight Cancellation Policies in India<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of cancellation policies as a safety net for travelers. Every airline provides this but they&#8217;re not all the same.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you book flights take a moment to read the cancellation and refund conditions, Know whether your ticket can be refunded or not and any charges you have. In cases of canceled or late flights, you can usually claim a payment. You&#8217;ll have to contact them and make a claim.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are booking ahead of your travel date, pay closer attention. The lower or discounted fare usually does not offer a refund at all. Occasionally paying a little extra for a flexible fare will prevent you from losing the entire ticket later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second, check the airline&#8217;s cancellation policy before you book your ticket, and opt for flexibility if there is even a remote possibility that your plans may change.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Know_About_Your_Cancellation_Rights\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to Know About Your Cancellation Rights?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re booking a last-minute flight, whether it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianeagle.com\/india-to-usa-flights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">India to USA<\/a> or the other international destination here\u2019s a simple way to think about your rights:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Refunds: You may be refunded if your ticket is refundable, according to the policy of the airline. Even last-minute tickets occasionally qualify for part-refund.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Non-Refundable Tickets: Most low-cost tickets do not offer any refund, but exceptions include a medical condition or in the event that the airline cancels your flight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compensation: In case the flight is grossly delayed or canceled, you can be compensated by DGCA (India&#8217;s aviation body). Always approach the airline in person.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The golden rule is to always read policies of what you\u2019re booking, even when time\u2019s short. Two minutes of checking can save you hours of regret later.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_for_Last-Minute_Bookings\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tips for Last-Minute Bookings<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re in a hurry to fly out, slow down just enough to do these few things right:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read the\u00a0 booking policies in detail.. It&#8217;s boring, but so is losing your refund.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Opt for flexible fares as\u00a0 they cost a little more but you can experience a comfortable trip.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check refund timelines as some airlines take weeks, others just days. It\u2019s better to know upfront.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Small things like these make unplanned trips feel a lot less chaotic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Booking a last-minute flight doesn\u2019t mean giving up your rights. Knowing how the flight cancellation policy in India works is like having a quiet safety net under all that spontaneity. Read the airline policy, pick flexibility when you can, and understand your DGCA rights. A little awareness goes a long way in protecting your travel plans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And if you\u2019re looking for good <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianeagle.com\/last-minute-flight-deals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">last-minute deals<\/a>, Indian Eagle has your back with affordable fares.
