Obviously if 154 is late, I'm going to cancel the Manila Hopper before we leave TKK, or as soon as we land in GUM. But, I need advice if we're cutting it close.
The question is: The fare rules state "Cancel reservations before the scheduled departure time or TICKET HAS NO VALUE."
If I remember correctly, we have to be at the gate 30" before departure or we get offloaded. If we do get offloaded, but it's before scheduled departure, can I still cancel the reservation for a refund?
If you have checked in, to retain future credit (for a nonrefundable ticket), you need to cancel before the gate agent closes the flight. You can be off loaded and still maintain credit. You will also be off-loaded if you do not check-in by the required time. Closing for domestic flights is generally coincides with closing the door, 10 minutes before scheduled departure.
