Author Topic: Priceline flight cancellation (Read 3020 times)

I have reserved a flight through Priceline for tomorrow morning. The Priceline confirmation page says that there is free cancellation through tomorrow night. Obviously, that is not correct. Does anyone know how late I can, in fact, cancel without penalty?

Well, it is in fact correct.

You can cancel after missing the flight?

I just booked an AA ticket on Priceline, and I’m getting a 24 hour cancellation window, instead of Monday night which it always was. Did their policy change or an I doing something wrong? (It’s a combination of 2 one-ways. Not that I need it, it’s just what they offered because it’s $0.01 cheaper than RT).

Try rebooking it as 2 OW bookings and see?

I did and got the same.
Tried a few dummy bookings and so far the only science I can think of is that desktop bookings give 24 hours vs mobile bookings (not app) which give next business day.

Does this call for a DDMS post?

eliraps · « **Reply #11 on:** November 13, 2022, 11:46:47 PM »

Absolutely. $360 down the drain

eliraps · « **Reply #12 on:** November 14, 2022, 12:26:19 AM »

Phew
With a little HUCA, I managed to get it cancelled and refunded but something has just definitely changed

How come this hasn't made it to a DDMS post? @Dan

What am I missing?

eliraps · « **Reply #16 on:** November 27, 2022, 11:45:26 AM »

I did not get that option. Was an AA basic economy flight.
