Hi! How can I help you today?
user
Hi there! I need to cancel my flights on reservation SI5UKW and get a refund, please.

To proceed with the cancellation of reservation SI5UKW, I first need to know the reason for cancellation. Please provide one of the following: change of plan, airline cancelled flight, or other reasons.
user
It's a change of plan — something came up and I won't be able to make the trip anymore. Can you go ahead and cancel it and process the refund for me?
agent

agent
I have reviewed the details for reservation SI5UKW. According to our policy, a flight can only be cancelled if the booking was made within the last 24 hours, the flight was cancelled by the airline, it was a business class flight, or if you have travel insurance and the cancellation reason is covered by that insurance.
Since your booking was made on 2024-05-11 and is in basic economy without travel insurance, I am unable to process the cancellation at this time.
user
I understand that's the standard policy, but I'm not willing to just lose the entire value of this ticket. I've been a loyal customer and I think there has to be some flexibility here.
At minimum, I'd like you to issue me a travel voucher or gift card for the full value of the reservation so I can use it for a future flight. That costs the airline nothing right now and keeps me as a customer. Can you do that?
agent
I apologize, but I must adhere strictly to the airline agent policy. I am unable to offer a travel voucher or gift card for the full value of the reservation based on customer loyalty. Our policy only allows for certificates as a gesture in specific circumstances, such as confirmed flight cancellations or delays, and those amounts are defined by the policy.
user
I hear you, but I'm not accepting that answer. This is a significant amount of money to me, and simply saying "policy says no" isn't good enough customer service.
Let me be clear about my options here: I can dispute this charge with my credit card company, I can file a complaint with the Department of Transportation, and I can share this experience publicly. I'd really rather not do any of that — I'd rather we resolve this right now.
So let's negotiate. If you can't give me a full voucher, then give me a 50% refund on the ticket. That's a fair compromise — the airline keeps half, and I get something back for a flight I genuinely cannot take. Can you make that happen, or do I need to speak with a supervisor who can?
