First Class Flights Refundable
Are first class flights refundable? Also is there a way to cancel online? I can't get through on the phone.

Some are, some aren't (assuming you mean refundable without penalty). It depends on the details of the fare.
Should be. When reviewing your reservation online the option should be listed.

/-REFUNDABLE
Can I assume that this means refundable? I don't see anywhere online to cancel, only to change reservation.

Are you on the continental.com website?
Click on the "more >" link next to your reservation and one of the option on the new page will be to cancel.
Hope that helps.

Thanks so much. I just found option to cancel after clicking on more, and it is fully refundable. I wasted 2 hours on hold with Continental and couldn't get through.

Always good to check and not assume. I bought a F ticket on UA, thought I had even clicked on the refundable button and turns out it was a buy up fare that was NOT refundable. Fortunately I was within 24hrs so no harm.

Do you know the time window to cancel for refundable flight? Is it up to right before flight leaves or sooner?

On UA I've canceled a few minutes before the door closes, CO right after it closes. Either way before the flight takes off.

In December 2010, I cancelled a fully-refundable FC fare about five days after the original travel date, because that was the first time I could get through to CO's 800 number.
