Airline refused my refund. Can I dispute the charge with my credit card?

A card dispute can be an option, but try these steps first:

1. Contact the airline in writing and keep a copy of every reply.
2. Check the fare rules to make sure you’re really eligible.
3. Ask your card issuer about their dispute process and time limits.
4. Gather proof: booking confirmation, cancellation email, receipts and your messages.

If the airline cancelled the flight and didn’t refund you, a dispute may have a better chance. Time limits app
