Ticket cancellation according to the Israel consumer protection law

  1. Use of this transaction cancelation mechanism will be in accordance with the Israel Consumer Protection Law for tickets that were purchased through the Telephone Service Center in Israel or on the Austrian website for tickets for transactions covered by the Israeli Consumer Protection Law. Requests for refunds of tickets purchased from travel agents or Austrian stores and not through the Telephone Service Center should be addressed to them.

  4. The cancelation applies to all flights and services in the reservation. Customers who do not agree to this should contact the party from whom the ticket was purchased.
  5. Any handling fee should be calculated as a part of the transaction and must therefor be refunded (minus the cancellation fee).
