Questions and Answers

Hi all!

I’ve seen mentioned in a few reviews about a 24 hour cooling off period where you can cancel a ticket. Is this across the board and regardless of ticket type?

I want to book LHR-ORD with KLM to get premium cabin flights on a 747 before they all go. I want to book on the AMEX website to get triple points but they can’t guarantee the seats I want, they’d have to check after I make the booking.

If I can’t get the seats I want then I do not want to fly and would want to cancel the booking and book direct with KLM… Would this apparent 24 period apply?

As long as you are booking more than 7 days in advance, and the flight is on a US airline or a foreign airline originating or arriving in the USA… then yes, the 24 hour policy would apply.

So in your situation, traveling to Chicago – yes, you’re okay.
