Just got a call from Marco Polo, and both flights got cancelled, but my friend was protected on alternate JL flights (same day). We took this opportunity to cancel the trip (as we were planning to anyway, since Japan is not yet opening to visitors). Miles will be reposted to my friend's account, and the new expiry date would be 31 Jul 2021.
If you waited till Jan 1 to cancel, what would the expiry be?
And when you take advantage of this "opportunity", do you have to do it before they protect you to an alternative flight?
