I guess I'm confused because how would you cancel the flight if you're already in Mexico? Getting stuck outside the country is a separate issue until the US rescinds this law and that should be covered by insurance.
Nor would I travel with COVID (at least knowingly). Let's say I want to use my BOGO for October in FL at my timeshare and Disney. Get the sniffles shortly before, and want to make sure, get tested and have a positive test. Surely one would not want to get on the plane and possibly infect others, let alone go out and about (even at Disney). Thus, tickets would have to be cancelled.
Eh, that's a personal decision. (Ducks). Just don't test, you don't need to.
I guess I'm also just surprised you've had such issues re-scheduling, at least the domestic trips. Or using the value for another trip even if not to the same destination. I understand lengthy/expensive international trips may be harder, and frankly, I'm still not planning any of those. (I was planning to go skiing in Europe in March, but booked a mileage ticket and thus had no problem with fully refunding).
