As you start using your Avios for reward flights, mistakes can happen. Wrong dates, passenger names spelling mistakes or simply a change of mind are some of the reasons that may occur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process of booking one’s own reward flight requires focus and attention to details. A mistake can cost you your miles and money if you don’t pay attention and react on time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to cancel an Avios booking without any penalty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The process is pretty straight forward. Let’s say you booked a reward flight via your British Airways Executive Club account. You receive your e-ticket receipt through to your email account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, you notice that you had chosen the wrong flight. You wanted to fly QR1136 but instead you booked QR1124. So what do you do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have 24 hours to react. Here are the 3 steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. In Canada, you need to call 1-800-247-9297. That’s the British Airways contact centre number<\/strong><\/a>, which operates daily from 7am to 11pm Eastern time<\/strong>;
    <\/li>
  2. \u26d4 YOU HAVE TO CALL THE CONTACT CENTRE\u00a0\u26d4\u00a0<\/strong>There are no other ways to cancel or make changes to the booking;
    <\/li>
  3. The agent will be able to help you cancel the reservation and claim a full refund of charges and Avios points;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The Avios are refunded within 24 hours. The money credit can take up to 5-7 business days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But there are exception and exclusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Exclusions of the guarantee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Although the process is intuitive and very useful it does have its limitations and exclusions. Furthermore, you’ll to to keep those in mind and pay a lot of attention when you book your next reward flights under any of the following conditions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. If your booking was made for travel within 24 hours then you cannot change, amend or cancel it;
      <\/li>
    2. If the booking does not require an immediate payment;
      <\/li>
    3. Packages that involve: Flights, hotel, car rental or activities. They are locked-in. No changes are possible;
      <\/li>
    4. South African domestic<\/a> reward flights operated by Comair cannot be changed.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Cancellations & changes beyond 24h<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Members have to expect fees to cancel and\/or make changes to their reward booking. Fees depend on where members are departing from. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      For Canada and US-based flyers, changes to dates, times or cancellation (including points redeposit) will incur a charge of US$55 in the US and US$58 for Canada. This fee does not apply to Gold status members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Using your Avios points is a great source of savings. What is your experience with redeeming miles and finding a mistake? What did you do?
