Can you give an example of that?
In the most recent "large" European airline failures - Spanair (Star Alliance) and Malév (oneworld) - no tickets, either revenue or award, were honoured after failure. Special "rescue fares" were made available - in some cases, only for travel in the 3 days immediately after collapse - but in NO CASE did any airline honour issued tickets as a courtesy - new tickets had to be bought.
