Receipts and refunds

Don’t worry, the value of your ticket is safe

If your trip was canceled, you’ll be able to use the value of your unused ticket and seat payments toward a future trip. We’ll send you an email with the information you’ll need to rebook your trip.

We have a lot of refund requests so it’s taking longer than usual. If your ticket qualifies for a refund, you should hear from us within 7 days.
