Anyone know off hand which offers the generally stronger protections? Or if there are complications with the fact that i won't be purchasing a fare, but rather just paying taxes and fees.
p.s. I'll be visiting Spain, India, Thailand, Myanmar (on another ticket), China, Russia, and Poland. Thanks!
I use saphire prefered card booked a reward ticket from UA.com. I did not receive my luggage when I got destination. I call sapphire customer service and they just checked the transaction and did not ask why I only less than $100 to buy this transcontinental ticket. First they do not know what kind of ticket it is. Second, airline tickets change a lot, some one even buy free ticket from some low price airline. They transfer me to insurance company and I then got instruction on how to fill the form and everything.
Eventually, airline find my lugguage later and gave me some interim expense rebursement. I did not call credit card insurance company again. If airline did lost my luggage. I believe the credit card insurance company will cover some of my loss.
