Direct Air in trouble d

[vttkdmom]

I had tickets from Plattsburgh, NY to Orlando for our spring break. I was able to get Amex to open a request for a refund with Direct Air.

After a long discussion with the hubby last night, we decided to book a with JetBlue from JFK to Orlando. We will drive down to JFK.

We did discuss driving, but decided that 27 hours in a car with our teenagers would NOT be healthy for any of us. LOL.

The way down won't be too bad, but on the way back, we will have to drive 6 hours back home after a long vacation and flight to get back to work Monday morning.

Of course we are still trying to figure out how to replace the funds we are out, since I am sure the refund from DirectAir will NOT arrive prior to our vacation.

Unfortunately, the logo is irrelevant. It's a debit card, and it doesn't have the same protection as a credit card. All the logo means is that the card can be used at terminals accepting that particular card brand.

I just called the number on my debit card and they told me they will open a dispute so I can get a refund. I said I heard I wouldn't get a refund if I used a debit card and she told me that was not the the case. I can't open the dispute yet because we fly in Aug. but I hope she is correct.

We have reservations on flights that HAVE already been cancelled, but purchased our tickets almost a year ago with Chase Visa....Does anyone know if we will be refunded? I am at work right now and can't call Chase Thanks for any help

Good Luck to all of us!
I don't see why you wouldn't, eeyoresmom - hopefully you can call as soon as you get home.

There was a report on the news last night that there was a plane full of passengers taxi-ing out on a plane in Buffalo (I think) when the news hit. The turned the plane around and sent them back into the terminal and cancelled the flight. That would be a real kicker, you think you are on your way and then suddenly not.

That there tells me it was more than just their fueling supplier issues...
