Can I cancel my Viva Air flight?

Do you have a flight with Viva Air that you can no longer use? Plans change, we know. We help many travellers like you recover money from their non-refundable flights every year.

Can I cancel my Viva Air flight and get a refund?

Unfortunately, Viva Air tickets are non-refundable. You will only get refunded if you purchased ‘cancel protection’ when you bought the tickets. Otherwise, you can get a refund for your taxes only. But, don’t despair! Viva Air allow name changes. This means that you can sell your ticket to another traveller and get your refund from them, instead of the airline! You can find more information on the Viva Air name change rules below.

I have the Viva Air cancel protection, what do I do now?

This is an additional service that allows a passenger to cancel a trip from the moment they purchase the service until 30 minutes before the scheduled departure of the flight and get a refund for the portion of the trip that will not be flown. Cancellations must be made through the call center or via e-mail at [email protected] until 30 minutes before the scheduled departure of the flight. Once this time has elapsed, the "Cancel Protection" service cannot be provided. This service can only be purchased during the initial purchase process through the website www.vivaair.com/co.

I don’t have the cancel protection option, what do I do now?

There are certain limited situations when you can get a refund from the airline:

• Cancellations and delays: Refunds will apply when a reservation is affected for any reason caused by Viva Air, such as: cancellations, rescheduling, delays, security reasons, multiple debits or extra amount charges.
• Illness/Death: in case of death of the title holder of the ticket, his/her companion (as long as they have the same itinerary) or relatives (grandparents, parents, children, grandchildren, siblings, spouse) are entitled to request a refund. Such request should be filed within the 30 working days following the scheduled date of the flight. Viva Air may apply penalties to a refund for decease reasons.
