No-show policy — what happens if I miss my flight?

A no-show happens when a passenger does not check in or board the flight and does not cancel the booking before departure. In no-show cases, airlines apply strict rules, and refund eligibility depends entirely on the airline's policy.

What happens if I miss my flight?

  • The airline may mark the booking as a no-show
  • The ticket may become partially refundable or completely non-refundable
  • The return/onward sector will be cancelled automatically if it is booked with the same airline

Airline rules vary by fare type and airline.

Can I get a refund in a no-show case?

In most cases, no refunds are allowed after a no-show. In some limited cases airlines may allow a partial refund of certain components — this depends entirely on airline approval. FlightsMojo can process a refund only if the airline approves it.

Do FlightsMojo service fees apply?

Yes. If a refund is approved by the airline, FlightsMojo will process the refund received, with applicable service fees deducted. FlightsMojo cannot refund any amount not received from the airline.

What if I know I will miss my flight?

Raise a support request before departure if possible — early cancellation may improve refund eligibility (as per airline rules). Once the flight departs, options are very limited.

Important things to remember

  • Airlines enforce no-show rules strictly
  • Missing the first segment may cancel onward or return flights
  • Refunds, if any, take time and depend on airline processing

If you still need assistance, raise a support request with your Booking ID, flight date, and route.
