Coronavirus cancellations: should airlines offer refunds?
Mar 25, 2020, 05:38 PMLast week cancelled an Air France ticket (for a long-abandoned European holiday). AF issued a credit note and their T&Cs state that if the credit is not used by its expiry date (12 months from issuing the note) then you have a further 3 months to request a cash refund. Then zippo.

It is the best of the choices because it arrives LHR early in the morning AND has the new First fit-out.SIA Call Centre today confirmed that to be the c...

Stick with Velocity Gold or chase Platinum?

What I do is check online the flights I want to take and then ring the Service Centre to see whether they will apply the upgrade on these flights and, if yes, we go ahead and book Fre...
