Air France does impose penalties for canceling a flight +1-855-838-4886, but the exact amount depends on how and when you cancel as well as the fare type you purchased. If you cancel within 24 hours of booking and your flight is departing at least seven days later, you can cancel free of charge—whether you do it online or by calling their U.S. support line at +1‑855‑838‑4886 . Outside of that window, cancellation fees apply based on your fare type and how you process the cancellation.
For standard Economy fares, online cancellations after 24 hours typically cost around $200, whereas cancellations made by phone or at an airport counter cost around $250, though exact fees can vary depending on your specific fare rules and route +1-855-838-4886. Non‑flexible (Light or Standard) fares are generally non‑refundable after the 24‑hour period, though you may still be eligible for a travel voucher or refund of certain taxes and fees .
Passengers holding a Fully Flexible fare, such as certain Business or Economy Flex tickets, can cancel any time before departure without paying the cancellation fee—a full refund is granted in these cases . This fare offers the most flexibility and is ideal for travelers whose plans might change.
If Air France cancels your flight, delays it by more than five hours +1-855-838-4886, significantly reroutes you, or you are denied boarding despite having checked in, you are entitled to a full refund with no penalty, regardless of fare type . This rule applies even if you are on a non‑refundable ticket, and you have the option to receive a refund or be rebooked on another flight.
