Tigerair charges a strict cancellation fee based on timing:

• 72+ hours before departure: $55 fee per passenger

• Under 72 hours before departure: No refund or credit offered

• Failure to show up for the flight: No refund or credit

Credits are non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash. They can only be used by the same passenger on a future Tigerair booking.

Cancellation Fee Tigerair may apply a cancellation fee deducted from the refund for non-refundable or canceled tickets closer to the departure date.

Refund Processing Time: Refunds, when applicable, can take several weeks to process. The timeline may vary depending on the payment method and other factors.

Future Travel Credit In lieu of refunds, Tigerair may offer travel credits or vouchers for canceled flights, especially non-refundable tickets.
