Can I cancel my Alaska Airlines flight and get a refund?

Yes, you can. Under Alaska Airlines’ 24-hour cancellation policy, you can cancel any flight within 24 hours of purchase for a full refund to your original form of payment. You can manage this directly on the manage reservation page.

Outside of that window, your eligibility for a refund or credit depends on your fare type. If a fee applies, it is generally $125 (USD) per person, plus any difference in fare.

Eligibility for a Refund or Credit

To receive a refund or credit certificate online, your reservation must:

• Have been issued via alaskaair.com, their call center, or a ticket counter.

• Not contain a Saver fare (if more than 24 hours have passed since booking).

• Not be part of a group booking or vacation package.

• Be within one year of the original purchase date.

• Have been ticketed in US dollars.

Handling Unused Travel Reservations

If you have a wholly unused non-refundable ticket (including Saver fares):

1. Within 24 hours: Full refund is available as long as travel starts more than 24 hours after booking.

2. After 24 hours: Non-refundable tickets (excluding Saver fares) can be issued as a credit certificate or deposited into your "My Wallet" account. Applicable change fees will be deducted at this time.

Can I change my Alaska Airlines booking?

According to Alaska Airlines’ policy, you can change your flight one time without paying change fees if done within the initial 24-hour window.

For online changes outside that period, your reservation must be for travel solely within the US, Canada, and Mexico, contain no more than 6 passengers, and not be a Saver fare. If you aren't eligible for online changes, you can contact Alaska Airlines customer service at 1-800-252-7522.

Can I change the name on my Alaska Airlines booking?

Alaska Airlines does not allow direct name changes on existing tickets. However, you can still recover your money.

By canceling your flight for the standard $125 fee, you receive the remaining value as a Credit Account (My Wallet) or a Voucher. Because these credits are flexible, you can use them to book travel for others, effectively allowing you to "transfer" the value.
