I got an email the other day from the Ruby Kaigi team, they are thinking of cancelling too which means I may have to do something about those flights to Japan I booked :(
- sjg007 7y agoIf the airline suspends flights you will get your money back. Apart from that, trip insurance? Maybe your credit card offers it.
- andrewmunsell 7y agoYou have to be very careful with trip insurance and read the documentation to make sure it covers this case. Some insurance won’t necessarily cover pandemics, etc.
- idlewords 7y agoIt depends on the airline. I've gotten no-hassle refunds from Delta and Cathay Pacific in the past ten days.
- ghaff 7y agoAnd I think I saw somewhere that United gave refunds to people who were planning to attend Mobile World Congress. It's mostly up to the individual airline but many of them seem to be being understanding. (Which isn't to say you'll necessarily get a refund if it's just a generic I don't feel comfortable flying any longer rather than a canceled event.)
- WaltPurvis 7y agoWhen is the conference? I might wait and see if the airlines cancels your flight--which actually seems fairly likely to happen at this point--in which case your fare would be refunded.
