 I have a final round of interview at a company P in a few days. I have to cancel this interview because I got better opportunities elsewhere. P has paid for my flight tickets a while ago. How can I decline the interview politely at this stage, without getting into why I can't make it and without burning bridges ? Btw, I do not need interview practice. I have to think about myself first.

I tried getting answers here, but they did not give me a clear answer. Most of them suggest that I go for the interview anyway which is something I am not willing to do.

Thanks.

Simply cancel, the sooner the better. The company can likely exchange the ticket for the next candidate, or another purpose. If not, interviewing at this point will only waste time and money.

For instance, "Thank you for your consideration. Since we spoke I have received and accepted an offer that is very in line with my personal and professional goals. I hope that you did not go to too great an expense or effort. I hope we will get an opportunity to work together in the future."
