Airline tariff rules are controlled by federal law. The tariff rules are generally posted on each airline's website, though it's not always easy to locate. My experience is that no airline will refuse a future credit on a canceled flight, especially for medical reasons. However, the airline probably will charge a fee of up to $150 per person, when you reschedule your flight.As for getting your money back in cash, the only way that could happen, unless the airline consents (which it may) would be to sue the airline -- and even then, that would be a difficult case to win. Hopefully, you will be able to use the tickets in the future, or perhaps you can get a airfare voucher from the airline and then sell the voucher on eBay or craigslist.Hope this helps.
