Can't travel and your ticket is non-refundable?
If you have a non-refundable ticket that allows date changes, you may reschedule your flight and only the change fees will be deducted.
If you are unable to reschedule your trip, you can request a refund of the refund of the taxes that correspond to the unused part of the ticket.
What is a waiver?
A waiver is a request you can make when you are unable to travel and require a flight change without charge, provided you meet at least one of the following conditions:
- Illness or medical incapacity
- Death
- Loss or theft of documents, depending on the purchased fare
You can apply online by filling out the exemption form.
As of November 15th, 2021, no additional services may be reimbursed in markets within the Avianca network, regardless of the size purchased.

Additional services are not reusable for later flights or dates, unless due to involuntary causes (situations beyond the customer's and/or airline's control).
The additional services issued until November 14th, 2021 will continue to be refundable as applicable.
