Change your mind about that plane ticket or find a better deal?
There is a way to get your money back even if you bought a nonrefundable ticket. And there are no pesky change fees involved.
The catch: you have to cancel within 24 hours of booking.
Airlines are required by the U.S. Department of Transportation to refund your money if you cancel a flight within 24 hours of booking unless they offer a free 24-hour hold option when shopping for tickets. The policy even covers basic economy tickets, those no-frills tickets that come with a bunch of restrictions, including no ticket changes.
