Air Canada customers travelling to China may be able to cancel their flight for a full refund, but the airline still isn't refunding tickets for other coronavirus hotspots.

And with Japan, South Korea and Italy reporting an alarming number of cases, many people aren't happy about it.

The airline's goodwill policy does allow passengers flying to those destinations to change their flights free of charge — but there's a catch.

Is this correct @AirCanada ?

How could it possibly be suitable and professional to offer a 'goodwill' policy on Japan flights and ask that rebooked flights are made for travel by June 15, when the #coronavirus issue is still expanding and vastly unknown?

In order to change their flights for free, passengers have to travel by June 15 — or, in Italy's case, even earlier.

Considering the uncertain nature of the outbreak, many people have pointed out that this isn't exactly helpful; you're hardly going to know if it's safe to travel to Italy by May.

Plus, many major events are now being cancelled due to coronavirus, which means that many Air Canada passengers no longer need to rebook at all — they simply need to cancel.

Hey @AirCanada, are you really sticking to a no-refunds policy during all this? My event just got cancelled over coronavirus and I can't get anything but a canned reply from any of your support platforms.

And Air Canada isn't even offering passengers the option of a flight credit, which left this customer disappointed.

@AirCanada Shame on you. With all theses issues with the coronavirus and you can't give me a credit for a ticket I bought since January? Really? I wasn't asking for a refund. If I travel I won't be able to get back to work since I will be in quarantine. Really disappointed.

With the number of global coronavirus cases surpassing 100,000 today, the pressure on Air Canada to offer refunds is growing.

@AirCanada 100,000 confirmed cases worldwide of coronavirus and you are not giving us the option to get a refund for one the countries effected the most by it.????? Check your recent news. All regions of Italy are now effected.

Particularly because Air Canada is too busy to even pick up the phone right now — leaving customers extremely frustrated.

My study abroad in Europe got cancelled due to #coronavirus... And now I just spent an hour and a half on hold to be told I wouldn't get a refund for any part of my flight.

Thanks for nothing @AirCanada #COVIDー19
