How to Get Your Money Back When Airfare Drops Signup for Airfare Alerts Airfare Drops After Ticket Purchases What happens if you buy a non-refundable airline ticket and then the price on the same flight drops? The answer may be better than you think. In fact, you may be able to recoup some or all of the price difference. Doing so requires that you track price fluctuations and then request a refund before the price goes back up again – so it takes some diligence – but if you can save even more on your airfare, then why not? Not every airline offers to “price match” their own airfare, and those that do often charge a fee for it, so you have to be sure that the fare difference is enough to offset the fee you will be charged for making the change. This table shows which major U.S. airlines allow you to claim some or all of the price difference when a fare drops, and what fees they charge for domestic and international flights.
