FlightCredit

Booked four first class tickets for spring break about two months ago for myself, my wife, my daughter, and her friend. Each ticket was around $1800. The friend just told us she can’t go because she doesn’t want to be away from home that long. I called American Airlines and got...

Booked a Southwest basic fare last week for a flight next month. Just noticed the exact same flight is now over $100 cheaper. Thinking of canceling and rebooking to grab the lower price. For those who’ve done this, how fast do the flight credits show up after canceling? Is it...

Booked flights to Australia for my family about a month ago and paid close to $3k per person. Just checked again and the exact same flights are now around $1,500 per person. Trying to figure out if there’s any way to get this adjusted or claw back some of the difference....

I’m Atmos Silver (was MVP the last few years) and always buy tickets with my Alaska card. In prior years I could check 2 bags free. One from status and one from the card. Now at check-in I only get 1 free bag. Second bag is $45. I called customer care and they couldn’t really...

Sharing this in case it helps someone else. I had about $600 in Hawaiian flight credit and their policy is brutal. You have to use the full amount in one booking, and you have to call in to use it. I tried multiple times over the last 10 months. Every time it meant long holds,...

Booked a Southwest flight for $150 during a promo, and about 3 hours before departure I get an email offering $400 in travel credit if I’m willing to switch to another flight. I’m not taking it, but I was genuinely curious why they’d do this so close to departure. Seems wild to...

I’ve got a Southwest flight credit that expires in a couple months and I’m trying to use it efficiently. I want to book two one way flights, something like A to B and then C to D, instead of a round trip. Each one way is roughly half the value of the credit, and together they’re...

This one’s totally on me, but I’m still annoyed with myself. Back in July, I bought a round-trip ticket from Houston to Pensacola for a Mardi Gras ball we attend every February in Alabama. Hotel is booked Friday–Sunday… but somehow I booked our return flight for Monday. I only...

I’ve got a United business class ticket to Australia that I can’t make anymore. Bought it 11/1/2025, flying 1/11/2026 and returning 1/27/2026. Not a cheap ticket, so I want to handle this the right way. From what I understand, I’ve got two options: Cancel the ticket and get...

I need to book a flight just to use up my remaining flight credits so they’ll convert to trip credits. Super annoying process. What’s the best way to find the absolute cheapest American Airlines flight in the next couple of weeks? From anywhere to anywhere works.

I’m still kind of stunned by this. I canceled a Polaris flight and got a future flight credit around $4,500, valid for travel through March 2026. All confirmed in my account. Months later I tried to book a cheap $500 flight and used United’s “combine credits” option with two...

This sucks, but trying to think clearly and could use some outside brains. My girlfriend and I broke up last night. We had a one week Colombia trip booked for Christmas week through Expedia. Flights and hotel package. I paid for everything. Total was about $2,600 and she never...

Had to cancel a Hawaiian flight and now sitting on flight credit, but I won’t be able to get to Hawaii anytime soon. Was hoping maybe I could use it on Alaska instead since they partner up. From everything I’ve seen, Hawaiian credits stay with Hawaiian. They don’t work on Alaska...

I’ve got a few flight credits spread across three different PNRs, all from before Southwest added expiration dates. I’m trying the usual trick of booking a flight with the credits and then canceling so they merge, but every time I try, the booking hangs and never completes. Then...

Had a ticket to Hawaii but couldn’t travel due to medical issues. Flight date has already passed anyone know if Hawaiian still gives credit or partial refund after the fact?

Had a flight credit from Jan 2024 with no expiration date and wanted to transfer it to a family member. I wasn’t sure if transferring would start a new 12-month clock since the credit amount is more than they’ll use this year. Update: Confirmed that once transferred, the credit...

Hey all, my friend and I are flying from Orlando to New York City in October, and we’re hoping to use my dad’s flight credit from Spirit Airlines to help pay for it. The flights we're eyeing are nonstop Spirit flights around October 10 to15, booked directly through the Spirit...
