Yes, I think the voucher will only be worth the mileage and taxes paid! Unless you rebook now to MCO on a future date (is that an option?), you will need to pay the current 100% mileage price when you come to rebook. Of course, if you are looking to a different destination that would be the case anyway.

I would call, if you have future dates in mind! Over the phone they’ll allow you to rebook the same destination at no adt. cost

Yes, with the 50% off deal, the agents were only allowing rebooking until late October (as per the original booking period) when I tried. I've had 3 attempts to move a cancelled flight and even my most recent attempt with a regular agent got the same response. I hope you get a different outcome.

I was recently allowed to move a NYC flight booked at 50% off for travel last month through to May ‘22 because it had seen a minor schedule change. Was allowed to move it to any date +11 months out regardless of award availability, as long as it was the same route. I did get the impression their policy has relaxed there more recently .

Advice please, Booked LHR - TLV cash fare 01/08, now quarantine brought in for UK travellers and border unlikely to be open anyway, should I proactively change my booking or wait for cancellation? I was wondering as to peoples experiences with the efficiency of either option.
Many thanks
Many thanks
