Evening all,

Another question for the collective knowledge that is locost builders.


Buying plane tickets with a credit card. As I understand it, if the flights is cancelled I should be able to claim money back from the credit card company. Is this right?

Would it also cover tickets bought for someone else bought on my card if I wasn't travelling with them?

Lastly are there any insurance policies which cover flight cancellation?

Thanks,

I would have thought ,if the flight is cancelled, the airline will refund the cost no need to claim off your credit card (Unless the airline won't pay up). I don't think it would matter who you bought the tickets for

I think first off it's the airline you should be chasing. If they don;t play ball, then go to the credit card company.

Not 100% sure, but I think if what you bought on the card was over £100 then they should cough up, whoever you bought it for.

Thanks everyone,

Credit card seems to be the best way to protect against everything. Just need to apply now
