You may have heard that Delta Airlines is offering travel vouchers for lost flights. The interesting detail is that the vouchers are obtained as a result of bidding for compensation on a bumped flight. Undoubtedly, compensation for bumped flights costs airlines a bundle. The current scheme saves Delta money, particularly considering that the remuneration consists of a voucher for the value of a bid for the bumped flight. Cash is undoubtedly king–but a voucher? Consider your options. The same applies to travel insurance plans offered by tour operators. Be sure that a cancellation without cause policy results in a cash refund for the full value of the tour and not simply vouchers for a future tour in a time frame of one year or less. It’s your money. Spend it wisely.
