Can you help me out with an example? We purchased tickets BOS-PBI on Feb 1, 2004, for travel Dec 20-Dec 31, 2024. We may need to cancel the trip so, according to "buy and fly," we'd need to fly by Feb 1, 2025.

How would we extend this? Would we use the credit to buy a dummy flight BOS-XXX that left before Feb 1, 2025 and returned after (and then wait the 48 hours, cancel the dummy flight and book the one we actually want, with an extended expiration)?

I agree with 6P&E. It just shouldn't be this difficult.

Mike
