A
[Direct conclusion] Cancelling one day before departure falls into the most expensive tier, normally a deduction above seventy percent, and trips where tickets have already been used may lose the full amount. There is no room for negotiation here, because coach, guide, hotel and admission costs are all locked in by the day before departure. Key points to keep in mind: 1. Why the deduction is high. Group costs are booked by the day: coaches by the day, guides by the day, restaurants by headcount and hotels by night. Cancelling the previous day still incurs those costs. The agency can only pass on whatever transfers to the next group; the remainder falls on you. 2. Approximate amounts. For a typical two-day tour around Luoyang priced at twelve hundred yuan, cancelling the day before usually leaves you paying eight hundred forty yuan or more. If the itinerary includes used admissions or a non-refundable hotel, ticket costs may not be recoverable either. These are common ranges only; your contract states the specific rate. 3. Exceptions. Illness requiring hospitalisation, a death in the immediate family, or widespread flight delays are not attributable to the traveller and can be negotiated with medical certificates, death certificates or airline delay documentation. In practice a partial refund can often be obtained, but only if you raise it and provide evidence; it is not handled automatically. 4. Tickets not yet issued. If rail tickets are included and have not been issued, that portion is usually refundable in full. Air tickets follow their own rules, with fees for both changes and refunds after issue. Ask at booking which tickets are already issued to avoid avoidable loss. 5. Limiting the damage. Contact us as soon as you decide to cancel rather than waiting for departure day. If you are unwell, seek treatment and keep the medical record and receipts, as these support any later claim. Delaying only increases the deduction. Note: Cancelling the day before departure is the least favourable position in any cancellation scenario, and the only real remedy is planning ahead. If your itinerary involves something immovable such as a child's exam or a relative's hospital appointment, ask at booking about more flexible products such as changeable packages or standalone cancellation cover. Paying a little extra for flexibility is often worth it. For standard routes and day trips around Luoyang, many products allow a no-loss date change the day before departure rather than cancellation. The two outcomes differ substantially: a change keeps the trip alive, a cancellation leaves nothing. Asking whether a late change is possible is often more useful than recalculating deduction percentages.
