• Why can’t you cancel flights?

Flights can typically not be canceled due to airline policies, without receiving a refund in the form of a voucher or flight credit. Airlines need to adhere to plane capacity, passenger safety regulations, and air traffic control regulations, so a sudden cancellation can cause a disruption to these areas. Additionally, tickets are also associated with specific seat availability and space reservations. Thus, cancelling a flight would require the airline to reaccommodate affected passengers in a way that works with the overall capacity and safety regulations of their fleet.
