Yes, you can cancel a teen travel program and get a refund, but the amount depends on how far ahead of the program you cancel. Most operators use a tiered schedule tied to the start date.
| When you cancel | Typical refund |
|---|---|
| Within 24 hours of enrolling | Full refund |
| Several months before the program | Full refund, less the enrollment fee and airfare |
| In the weeks before the program | Partial refund |
| Close to or after the start date | No refund |
What to remember about teen travel refunds
Refund terms vary by operator, so read the cancellation schedule in the enrollment agreement before you book. Cancellations usually must be submitted in writing, and airfare is refunded separately by the airline, not the program. Refund terms attach to the specific program and its departure date. Both appear with each teen tour’s dates and enrollment terms.
