Review an international itinerary before canceling a return, onward or multi-segment flight. Ticket status, flown sectors, multiple airlines and the issuing provider can affect the remaining ticket value and available options.

International tickets can involve multiple flight coupons, connections, fare components and airlines. Before canceling one flight or the entire trip, review the complete ticket so you understand which sectors have been used, which remain active and who controls the ticket.
This page focuses on international cancellation situations. For a general traveler-requested cancellation, see our flight cancellation assistance.
If the outbound journey has already been flown but the return is no longer needed, the ticket is partially used. Do not assume the unused return can simply be removed without reviewing the ticket conditions and remaining value.
On a connected itinerary, removing one onward flight can affect later sectors, fare construction or the status of the remaining booking. Review the full sequence before canceling an individual segment.
This is especially important when several flights are issued on the same ticket.
An international itinerary can include a marketing carrier, operating carrier or multiple airlines. The airline shown on a flight segment is not always the same company that issued or controls the ticket.
If a travel agency issued the ticket, the issuing provider may need to handle cancellation, refund or remaining-value requests. Identify the ticketing source before contacting multiple providers.
Once travel has started, cancellation can be more complex than canceling a completely unused ticket. The flown coupons, unused sectors, fare conditions and remaining itinerary may all matter when determining whether an unused portion has eligible value.
If you still need some of the remaining flights, do not cancel the complete reservation before the active itinerary has been reviewed.
If several passengers are booked together but only one traveler needs to cancel, review whether that passenger's booking or ticket needs to be separated before any action is taken. Do not assume a cancellation request for one traveler should be applied to the entire party.
Premium-cabin international tickets can represent substantial unused value and may have different fare conditions. Before canceling, compare the ticket conditions with eligible change or exchange options if the traveler still intends to fly.
For ticketing alternatives, see Business Class ticket exchange and First Class ticket exchange.
A traveler-requested cancellation does not automatically create a cash refund. Refundability and any remaining value depend on the fare conditions, ticket status, used and unused portions, applicable airline rules and ticketing source.
For a partially used international ticket, the value of the unused portion should not be estimated simply by counting the flights that remain.
If the flight has already departed and the traveler did not fly, the situation may be a missed-flight or no-show issue rather than an advance cancellation. Remaining flights can require prompt review.
See missed international flight assistance.
If the trip is still required but the dates, route or return plan changed, compare eligible rebooking or ticket-exchange options before canceling the existing ticket. Cancellation can be the wrong choice when the objective is simply to travel on a different itinerary.
Review international flight rebooking or ticket exchange and reissue.
Have the passenger name, ticket number or booking reference, airline or airlines, international itinerary, travel dates, origin and destination, already-flown sectors and the exact flight or portion you want canceled. Do not send payment-card information by email.
Possibly. The remaining itinerary, ticket status, fare conditions and airline rules should be reviewed before canceling only a return or onward segment.
A partially used international ticket can require review of the flown and unused coupons, remaining itinerary and applicable fare conditions before cancellation or refund options are determined.
The complete ticket should be reviewed first. A multi-airline or codeshare itinerary can have connected ticketing and fare conditions, so changing or canceling one sector may affect other flights.
The ticketing source matters. The issuing travel agency may need to service a ticket it issued, depending on the airline, ticket status and applicable conditions.
If you still need to travel, first compare eligible change, rebooking or ticket-exchange options with cancellation before deciding.
