High-Utility Consumer Disputes — Ep 5: Flight Cancellation Reimbursement | English B1-B2

Conversation Script

Passenger

My flight got cancelled last night and nobody told me anything about a refund.

Agent

I'm really sorry about that, let me pull up your booking and check the details.

Passenger

I already tried rebooking online, but the system just kept giving me an error.

Agent

That's frustrating, and honestly, our website has been a bit glitchy since the storm.

Passenger

Wait, so is this delay actually covered under your compensation policy or not?

Agent

Since we cancelled the flight ourselves, you're entitled to a full refund by law.

Passenger

Seriously? Because the last agent I spoke to told me it was only a travel voucher.

Agent

That agent was mistaken, and I apologize for the confusion that must have caused you.

Passenger

Okay, that's a relief, because I really need that money back before the end of the month.

Agent

I completely understand, so I'll process the refund request right now while you're on the line.

Passenger

How long will it actually take to show up in my account this time?

Agent

It usually takes seven to ten business days, but I'll flag it as urgent for you.

Passenger

I appreciate that, and could you also send me written confirmation by email today?

Agent

Absolutely, you'll have the confirmation email within the next few minutes, I promise.
