Got an upcoming flight you can't take? With COVID-19, there's a lot of that going around. We've got you covered. And we're breaking down what you need to know to get your money back from your airline, or when you'll have to take a voucher.

If YOU decide to cancel your flight, you may be eligible to get a voucher due to COVID-19.
But if YOUR AIRLINE actually cancels your flight, you're likely owed a refund. It's U.S. law.

If your flight touches U.S. soil, that refund law applies. It doesn't matter if it's a U.S. airline or a foreign carrier. And the same is true if your airline significantly changes your flight schedule - changing your time by a few hours or adding a connection when you booked a nonstop trip.

As COVID-19 decimates the airline industry, those cancellations and schedule changes have become more and more common - but often not until just a month or two before you depart. That's why we tell all travelers: WAIT TO CANCEL YOUR FLIGHTS! With some patience, you could get your money back.

Still, a voucher is better than nothing. And many airlines are offering free change and cancellation (for a voucher) to many upcoming flights, as well as tickets booked within the next month or so. Depending on when you booked your flight, your voucher may be good for another year - or even up to two years.
