I was supposed to fly to Las Vegas today for a three night rock concert at the MGM Grand Casino followed by two nights at the Grand Canyon and three more nights in various towns in Arizona.
We had to cancel the trip because of my mom’s surgery/cancer and dog’s surgery. The hotels were all refundable and I had insurance on our concert tickets. But.... I had called a week/2 weeks ago regarding our flights. At that time, because I had booked a saver fare, I was told the flights would not be refundable.
Since I didn’t know how mom’s surgery would turn out at that time I did not cancel our flights. However, as corona spread I heard our airline started allowing refunds and credits on flights. (Plus I live in an area that has been completely closed as of today because of corona. No school, working from home, no sports, church, gatherings of over 250 people etc). Because of the virus, I was able to get the cost of our flights back as an airline credit I can use within a year. So, corona actually helped us out.
It seems to have worked out for you with the flights at least, although I'm sure you'd be more happy to be at that concert in Vegas.
You know, reading your last few lines...Seems like the plot from a movie...If you told a person this would be happening 3 months ago they would have laughed in your face. Now? Reality.
I'm reminded of every zombie movie I've seen...But more about that Dustin Hoffman movie Outbreak.
Hmm, strange times huh?
I hope things pan out for your mum and the doggo.
