Free Delay is an optional service that provides free rebooking or a 100% refund of the base fare and taxes in the event of a qualifying flight disruption.
To be eligible, the flight must be delayed or cancelled by more 2 hours for international flights OR 1 hour for domestic flight. The disruption must occur within 24 hours of the scheduled departure time.
The Free Delay must be added during the booking process via the Add-ons page.
In the event of a flight delay or cancellation, the customer must provide valid proof of the disruption.
Once confirmed, the customer can either be rebooked on any available airline in a similar fare class or choose to receive a 100% refund of the base fare and taxes.
If a customer books a round-trip ticket and one of the flights is affected by a delay or cancellation, only the affected flight will be eligible for a refund or reschedule.
The refund includes only the original base fare and taxes for the affected portion of the journey; service fees, add-ons, free delay fee, and extras such as seat selection or baggage are not refundable.
Free Delay can only be used once per booking. Multiple disruptions do not entitle the customer to multiple refunds or rebookings.
Baggage is the customer’s responsibility, and almatar does not assist with checked or carry-on luggage.
If the customer misses the rebooked flight, almatar is not liable, and no further compensation or rebooking will be offered.

In the event of Force Majeure (including airline cancellations, airspace closures, outbreaks, etc.), the fee for this service remains non-refundable.
