Do I need to wait 24 hours or so to cancel it?
thanks.
My understanding is that any ticket associated with the flight credit is not subject to the 24-hour cancel rule. I think there may also be situations where you can’t use it for refundable tickets.
Provided you have a trip that you think you may fly, I’d use the flight credit and if you need to change your plans in the future, change it then. Since you’re changing and not canceling, you should be fine.
There’s a thread on flight vs. trip credits with the details, and you should make sure there are no terms where a trip has to be taken within one year of the originally-scheduled trip.
