I could use some advice - please! Mr jtwiz and I have a flight on April 8th EWR - EYW. Sadly, we won't be vacationing in Key West in two weeks (and worse, yet, we were going for 17 days).
I haven't pro-actively cancelled the flight yet. It was booked last October. In looking at EWR-EYW flights this week, all non-stop flights were cancelled yesterday and today, although UA still shows one flight as being on schedule for tomorrow.
I'd love to reschedule it, but of course, timelines for when travel will be "safe" again are so uncertain. Not to mention, anyone flying from NJ, NY, CT to FL have to quarantine for 2 weeks - with no end date on that requirement.
In reading through all of this, it appears it will be tough to get a refund, even if UA cancels - let alone if I do. And what about the rules that I would have to use the ticket credit one year from the original ticket being issued (which means October 2020)? I do not want to lose the value of my tickets, so trying to figure out best recourse. Do I wait to see if UA cancels (and how long do I wait - day before? day of?) Do I pro-actively cancel? Do I reschedule (not knowing if I can really go on those new dates either?)
With over a million miles flown, I am realizing that I rarely cancel personal travel and with all these one-time rules, waivers, etc. it is a puzzle to figure it all out. Thanks in advance for any advice...
