Can I cancel my lastminute.com booking and get a refund?

Because lastminute.com acts as an agent connecting you to various airlines and hotels, their cancellation policies are tied to the specific travel providers in your booking.

2026 Cancellation Rules:

• Convoluted Terms: Policies vary by provider. You must refer to your booking confirmation email for the specific terms governing your trip.

• Administration Fees: If you cancel, lastminute.com charges a standard amendment fee of £45 per person. This is in addition to any penalties charged by the airline or hotel.

• Non-Refundable Fares: Most "Top Secret" hotels and budget flight fares are strictly non-refundable. In these cases, you will likely lose 100% of the booking value.

• FullFlex Insurance: If you purchased "FullFlex" at the time of booking, you can cancel up to 48 hours before departure and receive a 90% refund of the flight cost.

How to cancel: Log into your online account or call their customer service. For holiday packages, you must notify lastminute.com in writing.

Can I change the name on my lastminute.com booking?

Yes! If your specific airline and hotel allow it, you can change the name on the reservation to transfer your trip to someone else.

Name Change Rules:

• Package Holidays: Under the 2026 Package Travel Regulations, lastminute.com is legally required to allow name transfers for package holidays (Flight + Hotel), provided you give reasonable notice.

• Costs: You must pay the £45 per person lastminute.com amendment fee, plus any fees charged by the airline or hotel.

• The "Refund" Alternative: Since most lastminute.com bookings are non-refundable, changing the name and selling your trip to another traveler is often the only way to recover your money.
