For instance, could I purchase a fully-refundable ticket for a route I might fly (e.g., BOS-LGA or BOS-DCA) in six months and get the ticket reissued when I was ready to travel? If I bought a ticket like that, could I also change the city pairs and still apply the voucher credit?

The T&C say that the voucher can be assigned but not sold. Is the no sale provision really enforced, and if I went looking for a buyer (i.e. someone willing to pay $400 for a $500 voucher), what are the chances I could find one?

Many thanks for any insights.
