• Promo Fare: You can cancel up to 24 hours before departure.

Can you get a refund on Air Arabia flights?

Air Arabia generally follows a "No Refund" policy (with some exceptions for flights to/from Cairo). Instead of cash back to your card, they typically retain the balance as a Travel Credit.

The Catch: This credit must be used within one year by the original passenger only. If you don't plan on flying with them again soon, that money is effectively lost—unless you consider a name change.

Can you change your Air Arabia flight?

Yes, Air Arabia allows modifications to dates, times, or destinations, though a fee and fare difference usually apply.

• Promo Fare: Modifications allowed up to 24 hours before departure (72 hours for Morocco).

• Flexi/Extra Fare: Changes can be made up to 4 to 8 hours before departure depending on the route.

Can you transfer your Air Arabia flight to another person?

Yes! This is the best way to recover your money if you can't use the flight yourself. Air Arabia allows name changes on paid bookings.

• The Cost: You will need to pay a cancellation fee, a name change fee (approximately AED 200), and any fare difference.

• Deadline: This must be completed at least 24 hours before departure.
