DGCA has implemented a new rule in the interest of passengers. Now there will be no extra charge for ticket cancellation or name change within the first 48 hours of flight ticket booking. This facility will be applicable on all airlines and all types of booking.
New Delhi: There is good news for air travelers. Now if you have booked a flight ticket from any airline, then you will not have to pay any extra charges for cancellation or change of name within the first 48 hours of booking. This facility has been implemented by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) in the interest of passengers.
This new rule of DGCA is going to provide relief to those passengers who suddenly have to change their plans after booking the ticket or need to correct the name on the ticket. Now within the first two days i.e. 48 hours, you can cancel or change the name of the ticket without any charges. This will provide relief to passengers from financial pressure and increase transparency in the process of changing airline tickets.
Why did the new rule come?
DGCA has taken this decision in view of the complaints of passengers and problems of delay in ticket refunds. Often passengers had to pay additional charges for ticket cancellation or name change, while at times refunds took time due to delays in airline procedures. With the new rule, passengers will get this facility free of cost in the first 48 hours and their money will also be safe.
Experts say this step will make air travel more transparent and passenger friendly. By implementing this rule, DGCA has ensured that airlines respect the interests of passengers and protect them from additional charges.
Description of the rule
- No charges will be levied for cancellation or name change within 48 hours of flight ticket booking.
- This facility will be applicable on all airlines and all types of flight bookings.
- For ticket cancellation or change of name after 48 hours, normal airline rules and charges will apply.
- This facility will provide immediate benefit to passengers and they will be able to easily change their travel plans.
Benefits for travelers
This new rule will provide many benefits to the passengers. The biggest advantage is that they will not have to pay extra charges if their travel plans change suddenly. Additionally, transparency in the ticket refund process will increase and passengers will be able to manage their bookings easily.
Under the rule, if a passenger has entered a wrong name or wants to cancel the ticket for any specific reason, he will not face any financial trouble from the airline. DGCA has said that this rule has been made for the convenience of passengers and to increase reliability in airline services.
