Outbound cancelled… can I keep the return and just refund one leg?

Qatar cancelled the outbound leg of my return trip due to the conflict. I had to overnight at Heathrow and fly the next day. Am I right in thinking I’m owed a full refund for the cancelled outbound leg plus reasonable expenses from the delay? The bigger issue: they told me to...

Southwest canceled our return flights after we skipped a segment

Had a confusing situation with Southwest and wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Our itinerary was Burbank → Denver → Colorado Springs, with the return being Colorado Springs → Las Vegas → Burbank. When we landed in Denver, we asked a Southwest gate agent if we could...

Spirit canceled my flight but it’s still for sale?

I booked a super cheap Vegas to Burbank flight for May. This morning I see it’s canceled in my reservation. But when I search the same date and time, the exact flight is still there… just way more expensive now. So what’s going on? Should I just take the full refund? Or is there...

Iberia says my flight is cancelled… but they’re still selling seats?

Checked my booking this morning for a March 16 departure from Madrid and saw “Sorry to inform you, your flight has been cancelled.” No email. No notification. Nothing. Just the original confirmation and a “prepare for your flight” email yesterday. It’s a codeshare, so I checked...

Wizz Air Bucharest to Dubai, what happens if it gets cancelled?

I have a Wizz Air flight from Bucharest to Dubai on March 14 and with everything going on right now I’m a bit nervous it might get cancelled. If they cancel the flight, do they refund the full amount automatically? And what about my hotel in Dubai? It’s non refundable, so I’m...

Spirit randomly canceled my April and May trips and no email?

Trying to figure out what’s going on. Two upcoming round trips, MCO to CLT and MCO to BWI, now show canceled in my account. But I never got an email. And when I try to rebook, it wants me to pay more even though it says changes within 7 days should be waived. What’s confusing is...

JetBlue tried to refund only 10% for a canceled return flight

This would have made my blood boil. They canceled the return NY to LA because of the snowstorm, couldn’t rebook, so you had to book another airline yourself. Then they come back and say that leg was only worth $150 and 1,500 points? On a school holiday Sunday? Yeah okay. No way...

Frontier Disruption Assistance during Blizzard 26 actually paid off for me

I know Frontier gets dragged a lot, so I figured I’d share this. We were coming back from a cruise in San Juan, PHL direct, Business Bundle both ways. Blizzard hits, flight gets canceled around midnight. Total chaos across the East Coast. I had bought the $85 Disruption...

Spirit canceled my $183 trip and now it’s $570 for basically the same flight

I’d be so annoyed. Booked a round trip for $183. Solid deal. Then they cancel it. Fine, stuff happens. But when I go check, it’s basically the same once a day route, just new flight numbers and slightly different times… and now the lowest round trip is $570. That’s not even...

Spirit canceled my flight number but another one is flying the same route… what’s that about?

We’re booked ORF to MCO round trip in a couple weeks. Lately this route has been canceled a lot and I’m starting to wonder if we should just cut our losses. Tonight NK1531 MCO to ORF is canceled… but NK8891 is operating on the exact same route. Does that usually mean crew...

Charged 3 months after a credited cancellation… is that normal?

Weekly work traveler here. I’ve mostly stayed Marriott but started mixing in Hilton. Back in November I had a stay booked in Austin. My flight on 11/12 got cancelled because of the government shutdown staffing issues. I called the hotel and they told me they wouldn’t charge me...

Booked an international Aer Lingus flight on February 1, and about a week later the airline cancelled the flight. Initially requested a voucher, but after two weeks with no response switched the request to a cash refund instead. Another week later an email came saying the case...

Emirates “repatriation flights” available to buy but not for rebooking

Shared a frustrating experience with Emirates during the recent disruptions. The original first class ticket (booked for Feb 28) kept getting pushed back and cancelled repeatedly. Eventually managed to get home by buying a seat on one of the so-called repatriation flights. Later...

Cancun trip this Saturday. How do I cancel without insurance?

We have a JetBlue flight to Cancun this Saturday. After seeing the news, my wife doesn’t feel comfortable going anymore. We didn’t buy travel insurance. What are our actual options here? Is it just cancel for a credit (if the fare allows) or are refunds only if JetBlue cancels...

Booked JetBlue from ORD and learned a lesson

Grabbed a last-minute JetBlue fare from Chicago to Boston and didn’t realize something important until it was too late. Turns out JetBlue only runs one daily flight from ORD to BOS, and the only other daily departure from ORD is to JFK. Of course the inbound aircraft got...

Qatar connection through Doha soon, wait for cancellation or change plans now?

Got a trip booked to Thailand on March 22 with a connection through Doha. With everything going on in the region right now, starting to wonder what the best move is. Part of me thinks it might be smarter to wait and see if the airline cancels the flight, since that would likely...

Saw someone in a stressful situation right now while trying to get home from Sri Lanka. They were supposed to fly Colombo to Doha with Qatar Airways and then Doha to Helsinki with Finnair. Both flights got cancelled, and Qatar offered the usual options: rebook within 14 days or...

JAL cancellation process… why is it so hard?

Wanted to share this in case it saves someone time. Took me two full days to cancel a Japan Airlines booking. Website just kept looping when I tried to cancel. Chat always said “all agents are busy” no matter the time. No clear escalation option either. Big warning: when you...

Cancelling Royal Caribbean cruise, how does Allianz claim work?

We’re supposed to cruise in two weeks but my son has a new medical issue and we can’t go. I did purchase Allianz travel insurance. Do I cancel with Royal Caribbean first to start the process and get port fees and taxes refunded? Then file the claim with Allianz after? When...

Flight cancelled, has anyone managed to reroute instead of waiting days?

My Qatar flight for tomorrow got cancelled. When I contacted live chat, the only option they gave me was to rebook 5 days later. That doesn’t really work for me. I’d much rather be rerouted on a different airline or even a different route to get there sooner. When I asked about...

GLA and EDI to Belfast cut back. Temporary or something bigger?

Noticed Aer Lingus Regional has reduced Glasgow to Belfast to basically one flight a day for the next few months. Same story with Edinburgh to Belfast. Lots of cancellations showing. Looks like the second daily GLA flight comes back mid July, but I’m a bit nervous about booking...
