Yes, Breeze Airways does allow cancellations, but the ability to cancel a flight and the potential for a refund depend on the type of fare purchased and when the cancellation is made. Breeze offers a relatively flexible approach compared to some other low-cost carriers, but there are still rules in place that travelers must understand before booking their flights.

Breeze operates with a simplified fare structure, offering two primary types of tickets: Nice and Nicer fares. The Nice fare is the standard economy fare, while the Nicer fare offers more flexibility, such as extra amenities and additional options for changes. Both fare types have different rules regarding cancellations, changes, and refunds.

For both Nice and Nicer fares, if you need to cancel your flight, it’s important to understand that Breeze Airways typically does not offer refunds for non-refundable fares. Instead, passengers who cancel their flight within a specified timeframe will often receive travel credits. These credits can be used for future travel with Breeze Airways, but they generally need to be used within a set period, often one year from the original booking date. If the cancellation is made after the 24-hour period, it is still possible to get a credit, but you will be subject to the airline’s policies regarding change fees or cancellation fees, depending on your ticket type and the timing of the cancellation.

One important exception to this rule is Breeze’s 24-hour cancellation policy. Like many airlines, Breeze offers a 24-hour risk-free cancellation policy, allowing passengers to cancel their flight for a full refund within 24 hours of booking, as long as the flight is at least seven days away. This means if you decide within 24 hours that you no longer want to fly, you can get your money back, even if your ticket is generally non-refundable. This is a convenient option for travelers who are unsure about their plans immediately after booking.

For cancellations made after the 24-hour window, the process becomes a bit more complicated. If you purchased the Nicer fare, you may have more flexibility and fewer restrictions when canceling or changing your flight. Breeze often allows passengers who choose this fare to make changes or cancellations for a fee, but the fee will likely be lower compared to lower-cost tickets. In contrast, if you bought a Nice fare, you are more limited in terms of changes, and you’ll most likely receive a travel credit rather than a refund.

Another aspect to consider is that Breeze Airways does not allow for free changes or cancellations for most basic fares unless there are extenuating circumstances. If the flight is canceled by the airline—due to mechanical issues, weather, or other disruptions—you may be offered a full refund or a rebooking option, depending on the situation. This is similar to how most airlines handle cancellations when the fault is on their end.

For passengers who have booked a BreezeFlight+ or other premium service options, there may be additional perks or more lenient policies for changes or cancellations. It’s always advisable to check the specific terms of your booking, as Breeze Airways’ policies can change or vary based on special circumstances, such as the time of year or unusual disruptions.

Ultimately, while Breeze does allow cancellations, whether you get a refund or just a travel credit depends largely on the ticket type, the timing of the cancellation, and the circumstances surrounding the booking. Be sure to understand your fare rules when booking to avoid any surprises later.
