British Airways Refund Policy

Refund processing on British Airways depends on your fare type, payment method, and whether the cancellation was voluntary or airline-initiated. Refundable tickets typically return to the original payment card within 7–14 business days; voucher credits may be issued faster. Non-refundable fares may qualify for partial refunds under EU261, UK261, or DOT regulations when the airline cancels or significantly delays your flight. Taxes and government fees on unused tickets are often refundable even when the base fare is not. Track your refund request with your PNR and ticket number through official channels.
Refunds to original payment methods typically process within 7–14 business days.
