One of the most common senior travel
questions is: “What if I need to cancel or change my Alaska Airlines flight?
Will I get a refund?” Life is unpredictable, so knowing the rules before
you book saves stress later.

Within 24 Hours:
Full refund back to original
payment.
After 24 Hours:
Non-refundable tickets usually
get a credit (travel wallet) for future use.
Refundable Fares:
These can be canceled anytime
for a full refund.
Can
Seniors Get a Refund?
Yes, but only if:
You purchased a refundable
ticket.
You canceled within the 24-hour

Senior
Tips for Stress-Free Changes
Call an Agent:
If online steps feel
confusing, phone support is easier.
Buy Insurance:
Protects your trip in case of
health-related cancellations.
Keep Track of Credits:
Alaska’s “wallet” stores them
for future bookings.
Plan Ahead:
If you suspect plans may
change, book Main Cabin or higher.
Example:
A Senior Traveler’s Story
Margaret, 72, booked a Saver fare to
Anchorage. When she needed to adjust her dates, she learned Saver fares can’t
be changed — only canceled within 24 hours. On her next trip, she booked Main
Cabin instead, giving her full flexibility.
