How to cancel your reservation online

Step 1 – Look up your reservation, select “cancel.” 

You’ll need the confirmation code & last name. 

Desktop / Mobile

Step 2 – If you purchased a nonrefundable fare, choose how you want to receive the travel credit. 

If you have a My Account profile at alaskaair.com, sign into your account and choose “send the credit to My Wallet.”

If you don’t have a My Account profile or prefer to get your travel credit via email for later use, choose “send the travel credit to my email.”

Step 3 – Confirm cancellation.

If you choose “send the credit to My Wallet”, the funds will appear in your My Account profile. This can take up to 7 days, but usually happens almost immediately. When you’re ready to book your next flight, the credit will be available to use, as long as you’re signed into your account.

If you choose to “send the travel credit to my email”, you’ll receive 2 emails.  One with the certificate code, and one with the PIN.  You’ll need both of these when you’re ready to book your next flight.

A confirmation email will be waiting for you in your inbox.
