Part of planning a far-away wedding is making travel plans far in advance. (The last thing you want to do is bust your budget on plane tickets!) But with four airlines declaring bankrupt in the last week leaving thousands of travellers in the lurch and a big discussion about who might go under next, my fiance and I have cold feet about booking our honeymoon flights!
I've gathered these tips from news sources online, just in case the worst happens:
1. Pay with credit card, not a debit card. You'll have a better chance getting your money back if your airline goes under and stops flying.
2. Call a travel agent. Even if you didn't book through an agency, they might be able to place you on another flight should anything go wrong.
3. Book using a third party. This might be a good time to pay that extra processing fee through Expedia or Orbitz. They might be able to help you.
4. Look for warning signs. Check your airline for warning signs they might bankrupt next. According to an MSNBC article, warning signs include: the recent removal of a top executive, a dramatic change or reduction in routes, staff cuts, and emphatic public statements by its top brass that things couldn’t be any better.
