It mostly depends on which airline you choose.

Often they can switch your ticket to the next flight, and there may be a fee depending on what kind of ticket you bought. Most really cheap tickets have a fee of $50- $75 if you make any changes, but the more expensive tickets usually don't have those fees. Cheap tickets are usually non-refundable but expensive ones can be refunded.

More than once, I've missed a flight with Delta or United, and they were very nice and put me on the next flight without charging any fees, even though the fine print on my ticket said that I was supposed to pay a fee.

On the other hand, I once missed a flight on Continental and they were total jerks about it. They made me buy a whole new ticket, and it cost twice what I had paid for the first one. I will never fly Continental again.

It depends on which airline it is & why you missed it.

I have seen them try to get you out on the next one if it is not full and it was your fault for missing. no refund though. Now if it was there fault the will give you top priority usually.

Depending on the airline, and the reason for you missing your flight,you may be required to either go on standby or pay a change fee for the segment that you missed.Check with the airline that you are traveling with for their policies.

Typically, you just go to the counter and let them know you missed it. They will arrange to get you on the next available flight. They usually do not refund you for this.

You are up the creek most of the time. But always check just to make sure.

Remember, it is not the airlines fault if you miss your flight. They owe you nothing.

It is no show and you lose full ticket ammount. Some airlines offer next flight or may refund tax only.

Depends on the airline and the ticket you purchased. Once all they did for me was put me on another plane the same night, another time I was charged a processing fee than I was allowed to get another flight.

Depends on WHY you missed the flight and the terms of your ticket purchase (all those small words on the bottom of the page). Check with the airplane company agent.

My cousin and I missed our flight once, and I don't know if it was because we were both minors, they let us onto the next flight.

Sit and wait until the airlines decide to put you on the next available flight.

when you miss your flight... because you did not arrive the airport on time for your departure ( your fault) you will pay a no show fee and a rebooking fee. but when you miss your flight because your flight before that flight was delayed and you where check in as a check thru passenger they will put you to the next flight. and if the next flight will be the next day they should give you a free hotel accomodation and a free airport - hotel - airport shuttle. plus meals

What you do is call the airline and get them to put you on the next flight and if you dont want the next flight then you can get a refund.
