When your flight gets canceled, it’s by far one of the most disappointing feelings ever. You already imagined yourself overseas, whether it was meant to be a romantic retreat, a family vacation, or a solo urban exploration.
But as disappointed as you may feel right now—don’t hit that refund button just yet! Here are a couple of reasons why it might be much better to choose the ‘ticket change’ option instead.
Free Upgrade
What if you could upgrade your travel experience without additional costs? Well, you can! If you happen to have booked a cheap off-season flight, you will likely be able to convert it to a peak-season ticket without incurring extra charges (hey, they were the ones to cancel on you). This way, you get to enjoy your destination at its most vibrant and exciting time, often with optimal weather conditions and cultural events in full swing.
Avoid Rebooking Hassle
By changing your ticket, you can avoid the hassle of rebooking a new flight at potentially higher prices. By sticking with your original carrier, you can sidestep the price surges that typically occur when booking closer to your desired travel date. Sometimes, airlines even offer more flexible options for rescheduled flights. Did anyone say, ‘first class?’
