I need some advice:
On Saturday 11th of April: I rang VA...they said my flight was a non refundable flight (PER-MEL-PER in November). I told them to put my flight into flight credit which they did. But then I asked them what if VA goes under..then my flight credit ceases to exist...they said they are not thinking that far ahead. I then told them to reinstate the flight as normal and if VA is around still in November when my flight is scheduled then I will still fly to MEL. I'll watch and keep an eye on the situation. Flight is still 7 months away. I also had hotel room booked but that isnt complicated as I pay on arrival. So really its just the airfare which is a bit sticky but i do have 7 months to keep an eye on things and I'll re-assess it in Sept/Oct.
But due to the current situation it seems VA are not looking at all. Will VA go under in a matter of weeks or months? Should I call VA and ask them to cancel my flight and put it into flight credit for 12 months.
Any advice is appreciated.
Cheers.
