Continental air price drop...can I get a voucher?

[rapunzal]

Couldn't wait any long and booked my flight on-line yesterday. Checked priced today and are $75 lower...do they still give vouchers

I may be wrong, but most airlines now give you 24 hours to cancel, they don't tell you this, but I think it is something Congress required of them. If you get within the 24 hours of the purchase, you may be able to cancel the higher priced ticket and buy at the lower price. I am pretty sure of this. I know DL has the policy, but I think it came about as a law when Congress was really grilling the airlines about their poor customer service a few years ago.

Call immediately and if the lower rate is still available for your flights, they should give you the credit. But remember seats for the low fares are limited and may be gone already.

I know that when COntinental changed prices out of Newark Airport due to the arrival of Jet Blue, you still had to pay a fee to get the vouchers. I guess it depends on how big the change fee is whether I would make the change or not.
