I bought tickets on Monday. The rate has gone down a lot. Can I get a refund of the difference?

Momof3boys asked:


The difference in price is about $150. Should I buy travel insurance for $16 and cancel then rebook the flight? Am I even allowed to do this. I know I can still get the travel insurance.
Grindking53: What if I rebook through another travel site using the same airline and flights?

This travel protection insurance is a kind of cheating insurance. Do you have any experience with this?

I purchased 7 ATA tickets for August with my AMEX. Anyone else who has AMEX?

intlgntinvstr asked:


I called AMEx and dispute these charges. They said they will take 6-8 weeks to investigate. Yesterday, I spoke with another AMEX rep for update, and she tells me that most likely I may not get my $$$ back, because I did not buy Travel Insurance and bought non-refundable tickets. Anyone bought with AMEX and actually got the same answer. Any recommendation on what to do now? I feel disappointed in AMEX, with their answers and everything.

Need to cancel travel plans due to financial hardships?

Kiki asked:


We live in a mobile home park and our land rent is now too high for us to pay. We can’t afford to live here anymore and are working with the mortgage company so we can move out of here with as little backlash as possible. However we have no savings and cannot afford a deposit on an apartment along with the first month’s rent. At the beginning of the year we booked a family vacation to San Diego and we did buy travel insurance, but they are telling us there is no guarantee that our claim will go through.
At this point it’s either we go on the vacation and lose the house and have no place for us and our children to live, or we find some way to cancel this trip so we have an apartment to move into. Does anyone know what I can do to make the travel insurance company work with us? I don’t want my family to be homeless, please any advice is welcome. I need help bad!
No I don’t want someone to give me money. I want to cancel this trip that I realize now, shouldn’t have been planned in the first place. The money we spent on this trip could easily take care of the deposit and first month’s rent, which is what we would need to move into the apartment we looked at. I’m not looking for charity. How dare you. I’m looking to undo this mistake and get the insurance company to understand our circumstances.

What are my options if I can’t take a purchased flight?

Kelly asked:


My husband and I are planning a trip to LasVegas. We live in canada, so this would be considered a internation flight. We found a good deal with one catch. There is a stopover in Phonix with only 45 minutes in between flights. This has me a bit concerned. We are purchasing travel insurance. How much time is advisable? If we missed the flight due to the first one being late, would the travel insurance pay for this incident.

mi_bin9915 asked:


I’m planning on asking for sponsors to cover my travel expenses, which include air plane tickets and taxes and fees. What paying method should I tell them, since I don’t think I can tell them to write a check payable to me or something and checks don’t work when ordering tickets online?
