This is part of Air Asia policy - ( Once your booking is confirmed, it cannot be cancelled and the payment you made is not refundable ) Sounds clear enough , But I would like to know if anybody here has for a genuine reason of not being able to travel ever received a refund or partial refund from Air Asia  ?  Thank you in advance for any help you can give .

what part of this are you confused about.  they state it cannot be cancelled and is not refundable.

I guess because your sit is *gone* in the system and if you cancel it would be difficult or time consuming for them to mark your booked place as free?

Most cheap airfares are non refundable, but most have an option of paying extra so the fare is refundable or changeable. If you dont pay the extra then you dont get a refund, no matter what the reason.

Yes you can refund airport taxes after you're a no show

So its looking grim then , it seems there's no bend in any situation even for a flight five months in the future .

No.

You may be able to get a refund on the airport taxes.

Even when THEY cancel your flights you don't get a cash refund. I got something like a credit that expired in three months when they cancelled my flight. Worthless.

 

My recollection is that if you apply for a refund of taxes collected, there's a service charge for processing the refund that will eat up most of the taxes.
