What is ANA Cancellation Policy?

Travel plans sometimes change at the last minute and the customers are forced to cancel their reservations. The biggest concern for customers is about the fare amount that will be deducted for the ANA flight cancellation. Let’s know more about the All Nippon Airways cancellation process.

ANA 24-hour cancellation rules: The customers who have booked ANA flight tickets and want to cancel them can take the advantage of ANA risk-free 24-hour cancellation rules. When the customers cancel their reservations within 24 hours of original purchase on the same day and when the departure is 7 days or more away then the airline will provide them a full refund without charging any penalty or cancellation fee. The refund amount will be credited to their original mode of payment at the time of booking.

Refundable tickets cancellation rules: The customers may have to pay a significant amount as cancellation fees due to increased airfares. However, it’s always recommended to purchase refundable tickets if you are looking for an opportunity to save money when choosing to cancel your booked tickets. Refundable tickets are though somewhat expensive but offer the flexibility of getting refunds during cancellation with low penalties and charges. When canceling a refundable ticket, the customers will have to pay a cancellation fee, and the fare difference after cancellation, if any, will be credited to the customer’s original mode of payment.

Non-refundable ticket cancellation rules: The customers have to pay less amount for purchasing a non-refundable ticket as compared to a refundable ticket. The cancellation of a non-refundable ticket will attract more penalties and cancellation fees. If the non-refundable ticket is canceled within 30 days of the purchase of the ticket then the airline won’t charge an extra fee as taxes. The refund amount after the deduction of the cancellation fee will be credited to the original mode of payment used by the customer at the time of booking.

Award ticket cancellation rules: The award ticket can be canceled only after calling ANA airlines phone number. There are though certain terms and conditions for the cancellation of an award ticket. The customers who want to cancel the award ticket should bear in mind that the cancellation is not allowed within 96 hours of the scheduled departure of the flight. The award ticket cancellation can be processed 24 hours before the flight’s scheduled departure. The airline will not charge a cancellation fee to cancel the award ticket. The customers will however have to forfeit 3,000 miles when canceling their award tickets. After cancellation, the award ticket must be re-booked again.
