Cathay Pacific cancellation policy

Cathay members who book directly (website, app or WeChat) can cancel free within 24 hours of purchase, provided departure is 7+ days away. After that, a cancellation fee applies based on fare type, and refunds of unused tickets are valid for up to 2 years from issue.

Open Manage Booking or contact the original booking channel and review the itemised refund before confirming. The final amount depends on fare rules, timing, taxes, add-ons and used sectors.

Often yes, subject to the fare's change fee and any fare difference. Compare the total change cost with the cancellation loss before deciding.

Airline-initiated disruption can create rebooking or refund choices that differ from voluntary cancellation. Review the options in the airline notification or Manage Booking.

We summarize Cathay Pacific's own published cancellation policy. Airlines change fees, allowances and document rules without notice, so always confirm the latest details on the official page linked below before you travel.
