New Delhi: In a major relief for air travelers, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has proposed new rules allowing passengers to cancel or modify flight tickets for free within 48 hours of booking. According to news agency PTI, airlines will soon be required to offer a 'Look-in Option' giving travelers a 48-hour window during which they can cancel or change their bookings without paying any additional fee.

However, if a passenger decides to switch to another flight, they will have to pay the prevailing fare for that new flight at the time of modification. This move aims to bring transparency and flexibility to the ticket booking and refund system, which has long been a concern among passengers.
