Visa got rejected, can I cancel my flight and get a refund?

Sorry to hear that. Here is what I’d try:

1. Cancel as early as possible. Fees often rise closer to departure.
2. Ask for a refund or credit and attach the visa rejection letter. Some airlines are more flexible with proof.
3. Ask for taxes and fees back. These are often refundable even on non-refundable tickets.
4. Check travel insurance and card benefits. Visa denial is sometimes covered, but only under certain policies.
5. Don’t just skip the flight. A no-show can cancel your return flight too.

Keep every document and ask for answers in writing. This how to cancel a flight booking guide explains the steps.
