Oh yes, I’ve been in the same situation. The canceled 2020 vacay, airline certs etc. sucks they didn’t refund 100%. Why? You may have seen my last couple of posts (I saw your vote on one - thank you! 😻) where I have been lamenting the very same thing, well pretty similar feelings at least.
Be assured that the shenanigans around flying these days are really pretty okay. Put your mask on and keep it on until you left the airport - done. Especially flying within your country. Going somewhere else is a bit more involved.
Then again, everything could have changed by April, and hopefully for the better!
I understand the airlines (and others) have taken a hit, but punishing consumers isn't the way to go. A little here and there, from millions of travellers, all adds up to cast sums of money for nothing. It's not cool. Still, I'm just focusing on my trip and looking forward to it.
Exactly. It is why I don’t understand that they didn’t refund you 100%, albeit in travel certs. It’s just not right!
I think they called it administration fees. Umm, yeah ok, that's not legit. What can I do though?
‘Sad LOL’ - $300 admin fee is beyond ridiculous. But you're right, what can little people do against big corps... I haven't participated myself but sometimes there are consumer groups that fight together in something like this. And I could imagine there's been a lot of Aussies in your shoes. Might be worth a quick check.
It's all a bit ridiculous however that words sums up the last two years pretty well in general I'd say.
