A no-show refers to a situation in which a person with a reservation or ticket for a flight, hotel room, event, or other service fails to appear or cancel their reservation without prior notice. In the context of air travel, a passenger who does not check-in for their flight and fails to board the aircraft is considered a no-show.
No-shows can have various consequences depending on the specific policies of the airline or service provider, including forfeiture of the ticket or reservation and potentially being charged a fee. Travelers need to understand the cancellation policies of their bookings to avoid being classified as a no-show and potentially facing penalties.
