旅客郑刚预订的喀什至兰州机票因病申请退票时遭到拒绝，引发消费纠纷。1该航班机票价格为1280多元，退票手续费为468元。1航空公司拒绝退票的理由包括缺少同一医疗机构的100元及以上电子发票，以及就医地（北京）与航班地点不同。1值得注意的是，郑刚预订的前两段航班的全额退款申请已成功获批。1
类似的病退纠纷并非个案。1第三方消费者服务平台上相关投诉已超过1300条。1中国航空运输协会正在牵头制定机票退改专项团体标准。1专家建议，航空承运人应在旅客支付订单前，通过醒目字体、弹窗强制提示等方式明确公示退改规则；同时统一因病退票的基础材料清单，不得将医药费消费金额作为前置条件。1
A traveler named Zheng Gang encountered a refund dispute after falling ill and attempting to cancel his flight.1 While his first two flight segments were successfully refunded in full, an airline rejected his request to cancel a Kashgar-to-Lanzhou flight priced at over 1,280 yuan, with a service fee of 468 yuan, citing insufficient documentation and a mismatch between his treatment location and flight destination.1 The airline's specific grounds for denial included the absence of an electronic invoice of 100 yuan or more from a single medical institution and the fact that Zheng's medical treatment took place in Beijing rather than at either flight endpoint.1
This case is far from isolated. Consumer complaint platforms have recorded more than 1,300 similar disputes involving illness-based ticket cancellations.1 Experts have identified systemic problems in how airlines establish and communicate their refund policies for medical situations, including unreasonable rule design and inadequate public disclosure.1 The Chinese Air Transport Association is currently leading the development of an industry standard specifically governing ticket modifications and refunds.1
To address the issue, specialists recommend several remedies: airlines should prominently display cancellation policies through eye-catching fonts and mandatory pop-up windows before passengers complete payment; the industry should establish a unified checklist of basic documentation required for illness-based refunds; and airlines should not impose minimum medical expense thresholds as a prerequisite condition.1
