- sjjshzvuiajhz 8y agoI think this is legally required in the US, if you book directly with the airline. This is a solid reason to never book through the flight aggregators.
- boudin 8y agoIt's also required in the EU. It happened to me with British Airways
- lozaning 8y agoAmEx provides me this benefit when I book through them.
- muststopmyths 8y agoExpedia provides the same cancellation period as well. It saved my butt once last fall when I clicked on the wrong month in the calendar. Plus I have used it for other flight cancellations with them.
- untog 8y agoThey legally have to. Always amazes me to see airlines boast of their 24 hour refund policy that they don't actually have any choice over.
- hawaiianbrah 8y agoI mean, clearly a lot of people don’t know it’s the law, so it doesn’t hurt advertising it as a perk. Especially if the other guys don’t advertise it.
- setr 8y agoThis was also the strategy of ep 1 of mad men — lucky strike’s “it’s toasted” slogan — if you say it first, then despite all tobacco being toasted, it looks like everyone else is just copying you.
