Nonrefundable airline tickets

Post by JCShutout »

That's complete BS. I bought the tickets in August and the flight isn't even for 7 weeks, but I can't get my money back. I bought the trip insurance which is suppossed to allow me to cancel the trip as well, but apparantly you have to check some box while talking to someone on the phone and cutting your hair to be able to cancel your tickets.

No, I don't want credit for the future, I want my damn money back. Why the hell else would I buy "trip protection including cancellation protection" (which apparantly got voided over some BS crap).

Big effing middle finger to the airline industry. I went out of my way, got my tickets early, and am still trying to cancel 7 weeks in advance. Are you kidding me? If you can't sell my seats in 7 weeks then you should fracking be out of business.

Yup, old old friend getting married, before the $900 + in car repairs and a friend who needs $500.
