+ Refunds

I have a refundable Buraq Air ticket that I am not going to be able to use. How can I obtain a refund?
If you purchased your tickets directly from Buraq Air, you can submit your request via our our main offices or reservation agents. You may also take them to the nearest airport location or one of our Travel Centers. They will be able to issue a refund. If you purchased your ticket from a travel agent, please contact them to arrange a refund. Travel agents can issue refunds for tickets purchased through them.

Refunds will be processed back to the original form of payment. Cash or checks cannot be issued if the ticket was purchased with a credit card. If you purchased your tickets with cash or a check, your refund will be processed within 20 business days upon the receipt of your claim by Buraq Air Passenger Refund Services.

I purchased a nonrefundable ticket, but my travel plans changed. Can I get a refund?
The same rules for refundable tickets will apply.

I have a nonrefundable Buraq Air ticket that I won't use. Can I use it toward the purchase of a new ticket?
Subject to certain restrictions and fees defined in the rules of the fare, the value of a wholly unused nonrefundable ticket may be used toward the purchase of a new ticket. Travel on such reissued tickets (or subsequently reissued tickets) must commence no later than one year from the date of issue of the original ticket.

For partially used tickets the residual value may be used toward the purchase of a new ticket. The residual value will be the difference between the fare paid and the fare for the transportation actually used as determined by the applicable rules less any fees or penalties defined in the rules of the fare that was purchased. All travel on such reissued tickets (or subsequently reissued tickets) must be completed no more than one year from the first date of travel on the original ticket or sooner if required by the tickets' fare rules.

However, the itinerary for any unused or partially used nonrefundable ticket must be canceled before the ticketed departure time of the first unused coupon, or the ticket will lose any remaining value and cannot be used for travel or reissue.

Requests for changes should be directed to our Reservations personnel, while requests for refunds may be handled by our Passenger Refunds office, please consult the respective entity where the ticket was purchased.

I have lost my ticket. What do I do now?
It depends on if you have a refundable or nonrefundable ticket. After the original travel date, you will need to purchase another nonrefundable ticket and complete your travel on Buraq Air within one year from the original date of travel. After you have traveled, obtain the Lost Ticket Application as detailed above, complete the application and forward it to the address listed on the form (or submit online). There is a 90-day waiting period from the date we receive the application before a refund will be issued. If, at the end of the 90-day period, the ticket has not been used or refunded, a refund will be issued less a processing fee.

All Lost Ticket Applications must be submitted for refund consideration within thirteen (13) months of the original sale date of the lost ticket.
