Only pre-covid experience, and Expedia were fine, as long as you cancelled within 24 hours. But not all fares offer a refundable option.

Why??!

Also, if you buy a genuine, refundable ticket, be careful, because you may get your money back, but you may only be eligible for a credit with the same airline.

That would not be in my best interest.

If youre talking flights the chances nowadays since covid of getting the money back quickly is near zero maybe 3-6 months. Expedia are quite good but they have the airlines to deal with.You dont explain why you need refundable. If we know that, we may be able to give advice
