“You can choose to keep your ticket and we’ll extend its validity to 24 months from the date of your original booking. The fare amount you paid for your original booking will be accepted for any flight to the same destination/region at any time with no fees during this period,” the carrier said on its website.
The world’s largest international carrier said passengers need not call and cancel the ticket. “We’ve now extended the validity of your ticket for up to 24 months so you can just call us to reschedule your flight whenever you’re ready to travel again,” it said.
“You don’t need to do anything, we’ll keep your booking status as open and you can reschedule your flight whenever you’re ready to travel again,” said the statement posted on its website.
It said these options are available for bookings made before the May 31. Bookings made from June 1 onwards are subject to the fare conditions applicable at the time of booking.
