Flair Airlines Launches a New Ticket Resale Option!

Flair Airlines has quietly rolled out something we haven’t seen before from a North American airline: the ability to resell your airline ticket if you can’t travel anymore.

The feature is called Flair Resell, and it allows eligible passengers to list their seat for resale directly on Flair’s website. If the seat is purchased by another traveller, the original passenger receives a Flair travel voucher rather than cash.

It’s a small but notable change, especially coming from a low-cost carrier where most fares are traditionally non-refundable.

What Is Flair Resell?

Flair Resell is a seat resale platform powered by Fairlyne and built directly into Flair’s booking system. The idea is simple: if your plans change and your flight still has demand, Flair may resell your seat to another customer.

If that happens, you’ll receive a voucher that can be used toward a future Flair booking.

This is not a peer-to-peer marketplace, and it doesn’t function like Ticketmaster-style resale.

Flair:

• Decides whether a seat is eligible
• Sets the resale price
• Issues the compensation as travel credit only

At most, you’re getting the value of your ticket back as a voucher, not more.

How the Process Works

The resale process is handled entirely online and takes only a few steps.

You start by entering your reservation code and last name on the Flair Resell page. From there, you can select which flight you’d like to resell and see the potential voucher value before submitting your request.

If your seat ends up selling, your Flair voucher is emailed to you. The voucher is valid for 12 months and can be used on flyflair.com.

It’s important to note that resale is not guaranteed. If no one purchases the seat, no voucher is issued.

What About Bags and Extras?

Flair Resell applies to the seat only.

Checked bags, carry-ons, seat selection, and other add-ons are not included in the resale. Some eligible ancillaries may be refunded at 50% of their value in the form of a voucher, but this varies.

This means the feature works best for travellers who booked a basic fare without many extras.

Why This Is Interesting

Low-cost carriers are usually strict when it comes to changes and cancellations, so this stands out more as a policy shift than a major perk.

Flair didn’t need to introduce ticket resale, especially given how price-sensitive its model is. But offering a possible backup option when plans change reduces some of the risk of booking a non-refundable fare.

It also reinforces Flair’s push toward direct bookings, since only tickets purchased on Flair’s website are eligible.

Part of Flair’s Broader Changes

Flair Resell is part of the airline’s wider Flair FWD initiative, which has introduced a number of operational and customer-experience updates over the past several months.

These include a redesigned website, digital boarding passes for all customers, clearer delay communications, an on-time voucher guarantee, Apple AirTag bag tracking, and upcoming changes like Flair Express and new fare bundles.

Rather than a single headline feature, ticket resale fits into a broader attempt to modernize Flair’s systems and policies.

The Bottom Line

Flair Resell isn’t going to replace refundable fares or flexible tickets, and it won’t work for every traveller.

But for people booking low fares well in advance, it introduces an option that simply didn’t exist before. Even if it won’t be widely used, it’s an interesting development and a rare example of a Canadian airline trying something genuinely new.

If nothing else, it’s worth knowing the option is there.
