Canceled Flight Refund Request Letter

This Canceled Flight Refund Request Letter is a letter that can be used by someone who would like to get a refund from an airline for a canceled flight. Horror stories about air travel are becoming commonplace; an increasing number of people have experienced canceled flights that have left them stranded away from home.

Many airlines have a set policy on compensation to inconvenienced customers and will take care of the problem before a person can leave the boarding area in the airport. However, in the instance that someone has suffered from an airline's actions and is not taken care of, they can write a letter to the airline requesting a refund.

Applicable law

In the United States, the Department of Transportation (DOT) governs airline refunds for canceled flights.

These regulations are contained in the Code of Federal Regulations, specifically 14 CFR Part 250.
