BookMeCheapest

1. Overview

BookMeCheapest.online is operated by Sri Tharani Enterprise Co., Ltd and powered by Sea and Sky Travel Solutions Private Limited (IATA License No. 14025685), acting as an independent travel intermediary. Because we book on behalf of airlines, refund eligibility is governed primarily by the airline's own fare conditions — not solely by us.

To request a cancellation or refund, please contact us immediately at (844) 205-4177 or email contact@bookmecheapest.online. Acting quickly gives you the most available options and may reduce applicable penalties.

2. Fare Types and Refund Eligibility

Refund eligibility varies significantly depending on the fare type purchased:

3. Airline Cancellation Penalty Schedule

For refundable and partially refundable fares, airlines typically apply cancellation penalties on a sliding scale. While exact terms vary by airline, carrier, and fare, a general schedule is as follows:

The above is a general illustration only. Actual penalties depend on your specific airline, fare class, route, and ticket conditions.

4. Our Service Fees

• Booking Service Fee: Applied at the time of booking. This fee is non-refundable regardless of the reason for cancellation.
• Cancellation Processing Fee: A per-booking fee applies when we process a cancellation request on your behalf. The amount is disclosed at the time of cancellation.
• Amendment / Change Fee: Applicable for date changes, route changes, name corrections, and other modifications. Charged in addition to any airline-imposed change fees.
• All service fees are strictly non-refundable.

5. 24-Hour Cancellation Rule (US-Originating Bookings)

For tickets purchased for travel originating in the United States and booked at least 7 days before departure, the US Department of Transportation (DOT) requires airlines to offer either a free 24-hour hold or a full refund if cancelled within 24 hours of purchase. This rule applies to direct bookings with the airline. Where we pass through this benefit, it will be communicated at the time of booking. Our own service fee may still be retained in accordance with our policy.

6. Airline-Initiated Cancellations and Schedule Changes

If the airline cancels your flight or makes a significant schedule change (typically defined as a departure time change of 2 hours or more), you are generally entitled to one of the following options as determined by the airline:

• Rebooking on the next available flight at no additional charge.
• Rebooking on an alternative date or route at no additional charge.
• A full refund of the unused portion of the ticket to the original payment method.

We will assist you in assessing your options and submitting the appropriate request to the airline. However, the final decision and processing timeline are governed by the airline's policies and are outside our direct control.

7. How to Request a Cancellation or Refund

• Step 1 — Call Us: Dial (844) 205-4177 as soon as you decide to cancel. The sooner you call, the more options may be available.
• Step 2 — Have Details Ready: Provide your booking reference number, full passenger name(s), travel dates, and reason for cancellation.
• Step 3 — Email Option: Alternatively, email contact@bookmecheapest.online with all booking details and your cancellation request.
• Step 4 — Review Options: Our agent will advise you on applicable airline penalties, any refundable amounts, and our processing fee before proceeding.
• Step 5 — Confirm Cancellation: Upon your approval, we submit the cancellation to the airline and provide you with a cancellation reference number.

8. Refund Processing Timelines

• Once the airline approves the refund, credit/debit card refunds typically take 7–20 business days to appear on your statement.
• Some airlines may take up to 30–45 business days to process refunds during high-demand periods.
• Airline travel credits or vouchers (if issued instead of a cash refund) are subject to the airline's own terms, validity periods, and redemption conditions.
• All refunds are returned to the original payment method used at booking. We cannot redirect refunds to a different card or account.
• Our service fees are deducted from the total refund amount before it is returned to you.

9. Non-Refundable Situations

10. Ticket Changes and Amendments

If you wish to change travel dates, destinations, cabin class, or passenger names, contact us at (844) 205-4177 as early as possible. Changes are subject to airline availability, fare differences between the original and new fare, airline change fees, and our amendment service fee. In many cases, a date change may be more cost-effective than cancelling and rebooking — our agents will advise you on the best approach.

11. Force Majeure and Extraordinary Circumstances

In cases of extraordinary circumstances such as natural disasters, pandemics, government travel bans, or acts of war, airlines may issue travel credits, waive change fees, or provide partial refunds in accordance with their specific policies for that event. We will communicate available options to you as soon as information is available from the airline. We are not independently liable for circumstances beyond our control.

12. Disputes and Chargebacks

If you believe you are entitled to a refund or have a billing concern, please contact us directly before initiating a chargeback with your bank or card issuer. Filing a chargeback without attempting resolution with us may delay your refund, result in automatic booking cancellation, and complicate your case. Chargebacks filed without merit may be contested, and we reserve the right to recover associated costs and fees.
