If you miss your Eurowings flight, the airline has guidelines in place depending on the type of fare purchased and the reason for the missed departure. The options available may vary between Basic, Smart, and BIZclass fare types.
General Policy Overview
- No-Show Consequences: If a passenger fails to appear for a scheduled flight without prior notice, the ticket may be marked as a no-show. In such cases, the entire booking may be forfeited, especially with lower fare types.
- Rebooking Options: Eurowings may offer rebooking on a later flight, subject to availability and fare conditions. Change fees and fare differences might apply depending on the original ticket class.
- Refund Rules: Refund eligibility depends on the fare category. Basic fares are usually non-refundable, while Smart and BIZclass fares may allow partial or full refunds under certain conditions.
- Missed Connections: If a flight connection is missed due to a Eurowings delay, the airline typically arranges an alternate flight at no extra cost to the passenger.
- Travel Insurance Benefits: If you have travel insurance, you may be able to recover some costs associated with the missed flight, depending on the policy terms.
