Refund Policy
Effective Date: March 2, 2026
Last Updated: March 2, 2026
This Refund Policy governs refund requests for travel services booked through www.wizfairtravels.com and any affiliated Wizfair platforms (the “Service”).
This Policy is incorporated into and forms part of Wizfair’s Terms & Conditions. By booking through Wizfair LLC (“Wizfair,” “we,” “us,” “our”), you agree to this Refund Policy.
1. IMPORTANT REFUND PRINCIPLES
Before requesting a refund, please understand:
- Wizfair acts as a travel agency and booking intermediary.
Refund eligibility for most travel services is determined by the airline, hotel, cruise line, car rental company, or other travel supplier (“Supplier”). - Wizfair service fees are separate from Supplier charges.
Wizfair service fees compensate for booking, ticket issuance, support, fraud screening, and post-ticketing processing. These fees are generally non-refundable, even if a Supplier denies your refund request. - Refund approval is never guaranteed unless expressly stated.
All refunds are subject to fare rules, Supplier policies, and applicable laws.
Refund timelines depend on Supplier processing.
Wizfair cannot accelerate airline or Supplier refund timelines.
2. REFUND ELIGIBILITY
2.1 Voluntary Cancellations by Customer
A voluntary cancellation means you choose to cancel your booking.
Refund eligibility depends on:
- The fare rules at the time of ticket issuance
- Supplier policies
- Time of cancellation relative to departure
- Ticket type (refundable vs non-refundable)
- Promotional or negotiated fare restrictions
A Refundable Tickets
If your ticket was purchased as fully refundable, you may receive:
- A refund of the base fare and applicable refundable taxes
- Less any applicable Wizfair post-ticketing service fees
B Non-Refundable Tickets
If your ticket is marked “non-refundable”:
- The base fare is typically non-refundable.
- Some government taxes may be refundable (subject to airline rules).
- Airline credits may be issued instead of refunds, subject to airline expiration rules.
- Wizfair service fees remain non-refundable.
C Basic Economy / Restricted Fares
Many discounted or Basic Economy fares:
- Do not allow cancellations or changes
- Do not provide refunds except as required by law
- May forfeit full value if canceled
2.2 24-Hour U.S. DOT Rule (Airline Tickets)
For flights:
- Originating in the United States, or
- Booked at least 7 days before departure
Airlines may allow cancellation within 24 hours of ticket issuance for a full refund, subject to airline policy.
Important:
- The 24-hour rule applies to airline policy compliance.
- Wizfair must receive your cancellation request within the 24-hour window.
- Post-ticketing service fees may still apply if agent assistance is required.
2.3 Involuntary Cancellations (Airline-Initiated)
If an airline cancels your flight or makes a significant schedule change:
You may be eligible for:

Refund eligibility is determined solely by the airline.
Wizfair will:
- Submit refund requests to the airline within 5 business days of eligibility confirmation.

2.4 Hotel Refunds
Hotel refunds are governed by the hotel’s cancellation policy disclosed at booking.
Prepaid (“Pay Now”) Hotels:
- Refund eligibility depends on the hotel’s cancellation window.
- Non-refundable hotel rates cannot be refunded unless approved by the hotel.
- Early departure typically does not qualify for refund.
Pay-at-Property Hotels:
- Cancellation must be made before the hotel’s deadline.
- Wizfair is not responsible for hotel no-show penalties.
- Incidental charges are managed directly by the hotel.
2.5 Car Rentals, Cruises, Tours & Packages
Refund eligibility is determined by the Supplier’s cancellation terms.
Cruises often have strict cancellation schedules where penalties increase closer to departure.
Vacation packages:

- Cancellation of one component does not automatically refund others.
