How can I cancel a flight with Asiana Airlines?

Return an Asiana ticket to its original place of purchase, then match the exact fare, departure market, route and cancellation timing. A partly used or mixed-fare ticket has a different calculation, cancelling after departure can add a no-show penalty, and mileage, group or special tickets follow separate rules.

What this answer depends on

  • Confirm unused or partly used in the exact booking before submitting.
  • Confirm time before departure in the exact booking before submitting.
  • Confirm payment method in the exact booking before submitting.
  • Confirm cash or mileage product in the exact booking before submitting.

Important exceptions

  • Asiana's published penalty tables are market- and date-specific and cannot be generalized across countries.
  • A flight ticket refund does not automatically refund paid seats or other ancillary services.

Important unknowns

  • Operating carrier: check the live booking or cancellation result before confirming.
  • Fare or award product: check the live booking or cancellation result before confirming.
  • Booking time: check the live booking or cancellation result before confirming.
  • Departure time: check the live booking or cancellation result before confirming.
  • Unused or partly used segments: check the live booking or cancellation result before confirming.
  • Check in or no show state: check the live booking or cancellation result before confirming.
  • Payment method: check the live booking or cancellation result before confirming.
  • Point of sale and jurisdiction: check the live booking or cancellation result before confirming.
  • Live cancellation result: check the live booking or cancellation result before confirming.

What to do next

  1. Identify the seller and point of purchase; a third-party ticket must be handled there.

  2. Match the departure market, route and fare conditions to the applicable refund table rather than using a table from another country.

  3. Establish whether the ticket is fully unused, partly used or combines multiple fares.

  4. Cancel before departure and inspect the live refund penalty and any no-show charge.

  5. Check the return method—card purchases are processed through the card company—and use the separate path for mileage or special products.
