Cancellation policies vary depending upon the fare purchased, including whether the ticket was purchased through Cape Air, a partner airline, or agency. These policies are included in the fare rules published with ATPCO and available for inspection at the time of ticket purchase.
For most of Cape Air’s fares, as published with ATPCO, cancellations received within 24 hours of departure are subject to additional penalties.
- For Non-Refundable/Value tickets, such cancellation may impact eligibility to reuse the ticket or apply the ticket value toward the purchase of a future ticket.
- For Refundable tickets, such cancellation may impact eligibility for a full refund.
Changes made on the day of departure are permitted and are not considered a cancellation in accordance with this rule if (1) the flight change is made prior to the time for departure of the original reservation and (2) Cape Air is able to accommodate the Customer on a new flight on the original day of travel. Additional fees may apply depending upon the fare rules for the original ticket.
