@clipperchip@ioc.exchange @tprophet@defcon.social I once bought tickets from an airline that was in the middle of going bankrupt without my knowledge. By the time that the flight was supposed to occur, the airline didn't exist anymore.
(It was long enough ago that I don't remember how this got resolved, only that it was expensive.)

@mwt@mastodon.nz @clipperchip@ioc.exchange In a case like this, the best you can do is charge back with your credit card company. You'll likely get a refund, but you'll have to buy a replacement ticket from another airline at the then-current price, which is probably a lot more expensive than a fire sale fare from a near-bankrupt airline.

@mwt@mastodon.nz @clipperchip@ioc.exchange @tprophet@defcon.social this happened to me, too. I was stranded in DFW for a day while my mom sorted it out somehow. We had no idea as we were driving to the airport they were taking down their signage. Just….. gone.
