FAQ

Q: What if I booked through a travel agent or third-party website?
A: Contact the agent or platform directly; they manage cancellations per their specific policies and may charge fees.

Q: Can I cancel a non-refundable booking and still get a partial refund?
A: Rarely; non-refundable typically means no refund. Check if extenuating circumstances apply, but policies are strict.
