Most travelers believe that if they buy a “Non-Refundable” ticket and don’t fly, their money is gone forever. That is a myth.
When you buy a ticket, a significant portion of the price consists of Airport Taxes and Government Fees. These fees are only paid by the airline to the authorities if you actually board the plane. If you don’t fly, the airline keeps that money—unless you ask for it back.
How to Claim:
- Contact the airline’s customer service.
- Mention “Passenger Service Charge” and “Government Taxes” refund.
- Note: Some airlines charge a small administration fee, but for long-haul flights, you could get back $50-$150.
At FlyNRun, we believe in data transparency—don’t let airlines keep money that legally belongs to you.
