That's all very well, if you can be certain that they won't raise the prices.

Just because someone bought a P fare for 35 EUR in March, doesn't mean that P fares will cost 35 EUR in September. These airlines will have lost revenue for months by the time all this is finished, and they will be looking to get it back. If you accept the voucher, you've effectively locked in your cash, and they will be in a position to get you to pay more.

I know these are difficult times for everyone, but these airlines have rich backers, I don't!
