Ticket changes and refunds

A ticket is sold for travel on a specific date and time. This allows, among other things, to guarantee you a seat on the departure of your choice.

No, the trip destination cannot be changed. Only the dates and times can be changed BEFORE the ticket expires (it is important to contact us before the scheduled departure and/or return date).

All our seats, unless they are part of a promotion, are refundable under certain conditions. Seats are valid until the date and time indicated on the ticket. It is possible to contact our customer service department at 1-800-806-2167 before the date and time indicated on the ticket to postpone the date of travel or request a refund according to the conditions in effect.
