Can I cancel the flight you are already on board but still at the gate?

This is a hypothetical question and I would like to know the passenger's rights.

If an airline company treats you poorly and you wish to fly with another company OR if your flight is having a technical problem and you start doubting reliability of the aircraft while boarding.

There could be various reasons that you might feel uncomfortable to spend the time with the airline.

Does the airline allow a passenger to leave the flight regardless of any reason? And if the company admits their fault then do they refund the fee to the leaving customer?

Can I cancel my flight even if I checked in?

Yes. You can cancel your flight after check-in or at any time before the flight. However, unless you have a refundable airline ticket, it's unlikely that you'll get any money back.

Do I have to cancel a flight or can I just not turn up?

If you don't turn up for a flight, you will either be rebooked on another flight, charged a cancellation fee or will lose the entire value of your ticket. Which of these happen will depend on the reasons you are missing the flight, the type of flight/ticket you have booked and whether or not you inform the airline.

Can you cancel the last leg of a flight?

Skipping the last leg of the flight, however, is perfectly legal, and the only risks are that the connecting airport may change ahead of time, or your bonus points might be canceled for not showing up.

How long can they keep you on a plane at the gate?

For domestic flights, they can't keep you on the plane for more than three hours. It's a four-hour rule for international flights. That means they need to get you back to the gate in time to get off before three or four hours elapse. The airline must offer you the opportunity to deplane during a tarmac delay.
