You realize that if the ticket prices go up so do the refunds right?
Ticket prices go up and down like a goddam yo-yo. 1989 my first trip to Europe I flew LAX-LHR for about $600. Flew LAX-LHR a couple years ago for just over $500.

Trains derailing, airplanes falling apart mid flight and a fairly notable cargo ship destroying bridge incident.

But on the other hand we now get airline ticket refunds?!

Yeah, give this guy a freaking medal.

On the whole Pete has not shone brightly in the relatively easy job of Transpo Secretary. Does not make any aspirations he might still have for higher office look especially good.

gather around, kids, it's Duffman storytime!
Who’s not getting refunds for cancelled flights? It’s not that hard.

”Sorry, your flight has been canceled.”

”That sucks, please refund my credit card charge.”

”Sure thing. Is there anything else we can do for you?”

This is how it goes. What am I missing?

Why did you omit the part where you put them in a rear naked choke?

Not a “problem”. I’m just pointing out what the “solution” will be.

Just wait, you’ll see. Ticket prices will go up.

That’s how this works.

There was no problem before. Cancelled flight? Get a refund. That was already happening.
If people were already getting refunds then what’s the problem?

Pete is a worthless bureaucrat that thinks 1970s bridge design is racist. Everything is about race to that lousy pos.

the problem is you have to call and ask for it. lots of people to lazy to do that - but also lack the patience to deal with phones (trying to get a human) these days, let alone if its a foreign airline.
Oh! My! Gawd!

I have to make a phone call!!!!!!!

Probably dropping in on you, California
Oh! My! Gawd!

i mean - its a pain in the fkn ass. calling the bank, airlines, pretty much anythingthese days gets my blood going but so would not getting a refund for a service that wasnt provided.

im also amazed how many people dont know about charge backs.. could be easier than dealing with the airline directly.
