Letter to Change Flight or Claim Ticket Refund for Flight Cancellations Due to the COVID-19/Coronavirus

This is a Request to Airline for Refund or Reschedule due to COVID-19/Coronavirus, which to request a flight re-schedule or a ticket refund. During the COVID-19 pandemic, some people are unable to travel on the scheduled date as some countries have completely locked down their entry and exit points. Some people also make decisions not to travel because of safety concerns. Therefore, persons who have previously purchased a ticket for their trip can use this letter to either seek a refund of the ticket payment or change their flight.

Under the law, a person has a right to receive compensation or a refund for canceled scheduled flights. Consequently, any person whose flight has been cancelled can request a refund of the ticket price.

This letter allows the affected person to explain the reason for the flight cancellation and either claim a refund or request to postpone their trip.

Note that this letter should be used to change flight or claim a ticket refund if the cancelled flight was due to the pandemic. However, for general airline complaints such as flight delays, lost baggage, or other issues caused by the airline the Airline Complaint Letter should be used instead.
