Great interview- I am still a little confused on that weather waiver he spoke of. In the case of an impending storm at you origin or destination- how do you know there is a weather waiver?
great question! with United specifically, they list all the current weather waivers on this site: www.united.com/en/us/fly/travel/trip-planning/travel-alerts.html
I stumbled upon schedule change where I was able to cancel for full refund (which i wanted to do anyways, but this was much better than flight credit). Never thought i can try to game this
@@geobreezetravel i was going to cancel anyways for a flight credit. But before i did that, there was a 8 hour schedule change and i was offered to pick any other option available within +/- 7 days of the original booking. I enquired whether I could cancel for a full refund instead of flight credit and they were okay with that too! This was with Alaska airlines
Yes! This is great because I do NOT have an extremely flexible travel schedule as a family guy. 💯👍❤️💰
For sure! Lots of people in that boat where they can't just jump on good flight deals whenever they come up!
Great video!
thank you so much! glad you enjoyed it!

@@geobreezetravel thanks! I may listen to to this one again!
Wow. Great interview. Good info. Airlines have changed some of my flights. Need to check what I can do with these, now, opportunities.
for sure! and thank you -- I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the episode!
Hark, surprise - Is Southwest just changed a flight time. Went online and picked a sweeter route for me!

very nice! did you end up rebooking the flight with someone else or just cancelled altogether?

Is this still the case with AA who just issued new restrictions on “authorized” travel agencies?
Which part? With AA, I would recommend booking direct as much as possible, especially if you want to maximize your loyalty points.
@@geobreezetravelmeaning I still can’t figure out if booking thru bank travel portals count as one of their “authorized” travel agencies for LP earn
