Can I cancel flight to San Jose with travel insurance?


Dec 26, 2018, 7:13 AM

I found a good deal thorough orbitz and I want to nail it down now. I can buy travel insurance and cancel for a full refund less the cost of travel insurance correct?

TIA

Not without a valid reason that is covered in the policy. Usually it’s a sickness or death.

No. Travel insurance sucks. I stopped getting it.

Same here. Tried to use it once and was nightmare....total ripoff as far as I am concerned.

Try Google flights and see if you get a similar deal. Then

You can book direct thru the airline.

You can cancel that reservation within 24 hrs. So don't nail it in until about 9 pm Friday night.

Then you can cancel Saturday after game if things don't go well.

So I should wait until this Friday night to buy airline tickets. Then cancel within 24 hours of the time reservation was made correct?

Just double check that but pretty sure most airlines


Dec 26, 2018, 7:40 AM

Abide by that.

Airlines are required by law to abide by it, but 3rd parties are not. Just make sure that you are booking directly through the airline.

Just checked on the law and the booking has to occur at least 7 days before your flight, so if you plan to fly out early it might not work.

I use Southwest as I can reschedule any flight as I want.

Depends on the policy. Some policies/insurers allow you to cancel for any reason and get 75% back but the policy is more expensive and you need to check on the timing. Most policies do not.

Best to use FF miles if you have any.

Well I’d probably refer to the policy you’re using. But sure, go ahead and lean on Tnet for your travel plans. Haha
