Refunding an airline ticket

The niche of refunding airline tickets is plagued by poor customer service, opaque and often misleading refund policies, and significant financial losses due to cancellation fees or unfulfilled refunds. While new DOT regulations aim to improve automatic refunds, consumers still face challenges in understanding their rights and navigating complex processes, creating opportunities for digital solutions that simplify and streamline the refund journey.
