Change in flight costs....refund????

[TerriP]

If the cost of my flight goes down AFTER I've purchased my tickets, should I call to see if I can get any sort of refund? Or am I just out of luck and bought too early?

TIA for any advice!

If the fare is available for your exact flights, then you can call the airline and they will issue a voucher for the difference. You can usually use the voucher for a future flight within one year of its issuance. They don't give refunds, just vouchers to use for future flights, but if you plan on flying within one year, it does save that way.

Thank you for the quick response! What should I say when I call? Just that I see the prices are lower now and do they offer rebates or refunds???? Would that work?

Sorry for the dumb questions, but I've never done this before!

Tell them that you would like to confirm your reservation and they'll pull it up.

After you've verified it all, tell them you noticed that the prices have been coming down and they'll check to see if yours was one of them.

From there, they'll issue you your vouchers for the difference. It's all very easy!

Also, don't give up after one voucher. If the price drops again, call again!

Thanks again!!
