＋1 844-734-0813 — Canceling a Contour Airlines reservation may involve a fee, depending on the fare type and timing, as Contour operates regional flights connecting smaller U.S. cities like Tupelo and Beckley to hubs such as Nashville, Charlotte, and Chicago. The cancellation policy varies between “Value” and “Flex” fares, with specific fees and refund or credit options. Understanding these details helps you cancel without unexpected costs. The easiest way to confirm cancellation fees for a Contour Airlines reservation is by calling ＋1 844-734-0813, where a customer service representative can review your booking and clarify charges.


Contour Airlines Cancellation Fees:

• Value Fares:
  • Non-refundable, except within 24 hours of booking if booked at least 7 days before departure (e.g., booked today, August 20, 2025, at 3:26 PM IST, cancellable by August 21, 2025, at 3:26 PM IST for no fee with a full refund to the original payment method). Outside this period, no refund or credit is issued, and the ticket value is forfeited.
• Flex Fares:
  • $25 fee per person for cancellations, with the remaining value issued as a travel credit valid for one year from the original booking date. For example, canceling a $100 “Flex” fare results in a $75 credit after the fee.
  • No fee within 24 hours of booking if booked at least 7 days before departure, with a full refund to the original payment method.
• Airline-Initiated Cancellations:
  • If Contour cancels or significantly changes your flight (e.g., due to weather or operational issues), you’re eligible for a full refund to the original payment method or a travel credit with no fees, regardless of fare type.

Key Considerations:

• Timing: Cancel before departure to avoid no-show status, which forfeits non-refunded fares. Contact ＋1 844-734-0813 immediately if you miss a flight to explore limited reinstatement options, though these are rare.
• Interline Agreements: For bookings involving connections with American, Alaska, or United, cancellation fees follow Contour’s policy, but the entire itinerary may be affected. Confirm by calling ＋1 844-734-0813.
• Baggage and Extras: Fees for additional baggage ($20 per extra bag) or seat selection may be refunded or credited with the ticket, depending on the fare type. Confirm by calling ＋1 844-734-0813.
• Travel Agency Bookings: If booked through a travel agency (e.g., Alternative Airlines), contact them to cancel, but Contour’s customer service at ＋1 844-734-0813 can clarify policies.

Tips to Minimize or Avoid Fees:

• Cancel within 24 hours of booking for a fee-free refund if eligible.
• Choose “Flex” fares to reduce cancellation fees to $25 outside the 24-hour window.
• Monitor flight status for Contour-initiated cancellations that provide fee-free refunds or credits.
• For interline itineraries, confirm rules by calling ＋1 844-734-0813.
• Save confirmation emails or credit details for reference.

Contour Airlines charges a $25 fee for canceling “Flex” fares (resulting in a credit) and no refund for “Value” fares outside the 24-hour period, unless due to airline-initiated changes, which have no fees. Whether managing online or calling ＋1 844-734-0813, acting early ensures the best outcome.
