Flight Refunds vs Flight Compensation

Flight refunds and flight compensation are different. A refund depends on your airline’s fare rules, ticket type, and cancellation policy.

For flight delay, cancellation, or disruption-related compensation claims, please use AirHelp+. Trip.com can help with booking-related support, such as checking your flight details, refund status, cancellation rules, and airline policies. However, compensation claims should be handled through AirHelp+, not directly through Trip.com.
