Cancellation-terms comparison worksheet

Compare the cancellation terms attached to the exact options you are considering. Preserve the provider’s wording for refundability, deadlines and fees, together with the fare, room type or booking option it applies to. This keeps a broad label such as flexible from replacing the actual conditions.

Record dates, times and time zones exactly as stated, and leave an unclear deadline unresolved. Keep voluntary cancellation terms separate from change terms and from any wording about the provider cancelling. The worksheet organises the information you collect; it does not interpret legal rights or calculate a deadline from incomplete terms.
