Refunds take approximately 8-10 weeks to process from the time the tickets or relevant documents are sent to the airlines agents. Please note that if you have checked-in for your flight online; then the airline needs to be contacted to cancel the booking or else they will treat this as a No Show and cancelation charges will apply as per the No Show rule. Majority of the airlines treat a No Show as 100% cancellation charge and therefore the ticket is non-refundable and only some of the taxes will be refunded where a tax refund is applicable.
