Cancel And Return Policy

Blink Travel Innovations Pvt. Ltd herein after referred as blinkvisa.com Refund & Cancellation Policy.

Most of our airline tickets, hotels, travel activities, vacation packages and service fees are non-refundable after 24 hours of booking. All cancellations must be done over the phone & Email only.

We can accept refund requests only if the following conditions have been met:

  •  You have applied for a cancellation and refund with us and if the fare rules provide for cancellation and refunds;
  •  You are not a "no show" (most "no show" bookings are in-eligible for any waiver from suppliers for refund processing);
  •  We are able to secure waivers from suppliers to process this requested cancellation and refund.

We are unable to provide a specific timeline for how long it may take for this requested refund to be processed. All refund requests are processed in a sequential format. Once you have provided our customer service agent with your cancellation request, we will then send you an email notification that your request has been received. This notification does not automatically qualify you for a refund. This only provides you with an acknowledgement of your request and provides you with a tracking number. Upon receipt of your request we will work with the suppliers such as airlines, hotels, travel activities companies to generate a waiver based on airline/hotels/travel activity service provider and other supplier rules and notify you of the supplier decision. Our services fees associated with the original travel reservation or booking are not refundable.

Please note that we are dependent on the suppliers for receiving the requested refunds. Once the refund has been approved by the supplier it may take additional time for this to appear on your credit card /bank statement.

Generally, all suppliers will charge a penalty for refund. This entire process may take 20-50 days from receipt of your request to receiving credit on your statement. Apart from the airlines and other suppliers refund penalties, Blinkvisa.com will charge a post-ticketing services fee, as applicable. All refund fees are charged on per-passenger, per-ticket basis. These fees will only be assessed if a refund has been authorised by the supplier or a waiver has been received and when the airline/supplier rules permit such refunds. If such refund is not processed by the supplier, we will refund you our post-ticketing service fees applicable to your agent assisted refund request, but not our booking fees for the original travel reservation or booking.
