Cancellation
Remember; no matter how or where you order your flights, you do not have the right of withdrawal! You will not receive a refund for cancellation unless it is stated in the T&C or the cancellation is covered by your insurance. You can also choose to purchase cancellation insurance, but make sure you check the terms and conditions.
For more expensive, flexible tickets, the airlines will often let you cancel with or without a fee. Some airlines also allow you to change your ticket within a certain time with or without an extra fee.
