I’ve lost track of how many airline vouchers I’ve piled up in the last three years. Air Canada, United, Frontier, southwest. The worst part of the vouchers is that the reason I have them makes me not want to deal with that airline again, but I’m forced to do so.


At least Air Canada was forced by the Canadian government to pay back vouchers to people who asked for them, as part of a deal for financing.

I was able to claim the full value of the flight I had to cancel in April 2020.

Interestingly, even the initial vouchers took many months to be delivered to my email (6 months or more I think). But the refund was very quickly paid. The power of government coercion...


Wondering when we'll read about venture capitalists swooping in on an airline that finds itself being crushed under "voucher debt".
