2.8.1. No refund will be made for the amount of the Airfare Ticket in the following cases: (i) with respect to that portion of the flight not used by the Passenger in the case of a missed connection, if the connection is arranged by the Passenger himself, between flights that are not part of a connection offered by AZUL; (ii) in case of interruption of the trip at a stop airport by the Passenger’s initiative, or due to compulsory deboarding from the aircraft in the cases mentioned in section 5; or (iii) for nonrefundable promotional fares.

The Passenger and/or Purchaser may choose, in lieu of a refund, to hold the amount of the refund as a credit for the period of one (1) year, counted from the issue date of the Airfare Ticket, provided that the Airfare Ticket has been purchased directly from AZUL. If the Airfare Ticket has been purchased from a travel agency, the Passenger and/or Purchaser will only be entitled to a refund or rebooking on another flight.
2.10.1. The Passenger’s and/or Purchaser’s credit shall remain effective for a period of one (1) year counted from the issue date of the Airfare Ticket, as set forth in article 228 of the Brazilian Aeronautic Code. During this period, if the credit available is insufficient to purchase another Airfare Ticket, the Passenger and/or Purchaser will be required to supplement the amount necessary to purchase another Airfare Ticket, or request, during such period, a refund of his/her credit, as provided for in this Agreement.
2.11. The refund of a ticket purchased at a promotional rate will be subject to any restrictions set forth in the applicable conditions, under the terms of Article 29, of ANAC Resolution no. 400.

Any Passenger who fails to check-in within the times mentioned in section 3.1, or who fails to present the necessary personal travel documents at the time of check-in, will be deemed as a “no-show”. In the event of a “no-show,” AZUL shall be entitled to (1) cancel the flight reservation, thus denying boarding of the Passenger for the flight shown on the Airfare Ticket and (2) rebook the Passenger for a flight on another date, subject to availability of seats on the relevant flight, pursuant to the applicable tariff rules. In either case, a “no-show” fee may be applied, pursuant to the tariff rules, and the subsequent flight portions shall be cancelled. The residual value, corresponding to the total value of the Airfare Ticket less the value of the possible no-show or cancellation fee shall be held as a credit, until a refund is requested or the Passenger is rebooked within a period one year from the reservation date. In the case of rebooking, the Passenger shall pay any tariff differences in addition to the amount of the fee. The payment of the applicable amounts shall be due in accordance with the tariff rules in effect at the time of the purchase, as available from the Website, the Customer Relations Center and Azul’s ticket offices.
