REFUNDSBVI Airways does not engage in the practice of intentional ‘oversale’ of flights.

Taxes, security fees, and passenger facility charges associated with a nonrefundable fare are also not eligible for refund. If a passenger cancels or reschedules, the fare paid for unused nonrefundable tickets, upon surrender of the usused ticket or portion thereof, or with the Ticketless Travel confirmation number and proof of purchase sufficient to Carrier, may be applied toward the purchase of future travel, without penalty, provided that travel is completed within the ticket’s eligibility period. The fare for the new ticket(s), however, may be greater and/or the new ticket(s) may be subject to different terms, conditions, or restrictions than the original ticket. Should a passenger fail to apply the nonrefundable ticket or travel credit toward the purchase of future travel within the eligibility period, the entire amount of the fare, which includes all fees, taxes, and charges, will be forfeited.
