### Air Malta Cancellation Policy

Before canceling, it is very important to understand the airline’s rules.

Air Malta has different types of fares. The rules for canceling depend on the fare you bought.

Here are the basic rules:

1. **Some tickets can be canceled and refunded.** These are usually more expensive or flexible fares.
2. **Some tickets cannot be refunded.** These are cheaper fares or promotional tickets.
3. **All tickets can usually be changed.** If you do not want to cancel, you might be able to change the date or time instead.

Also, if you cancel your flight **within twenty-four hours after booking**, you may be able to get a refund. This is possible only if your flight is more than seven days away.

You should always check the fare conditions in your booking confirmation. The conditions are listed at the time of booking and show whether cancellation is possible and if there are any fees.
