Re booking a cancelled flight

[57chav]

Is this for real - My husband and I had to cancel our flights to Singapore earlier in the year. We are now ready to rebook. I can get a ‘sale’ business class
Fare for around $8100 for two return, BUT if I book the same fare with my credit it is going to cost me $11,000 plus.
I would have thought if it was my credit I could use it my way, but not.
I guess I would be directed to read the fine print!!!
Any thoughts.

What airline is this with?

A lot of airlines have sneaky small print on credits requiring that you use it for the same or better fare class as originally booked when you rebook. So maybe your original fate was not a sale business but a “better” ticket and so they require you to now rebook that “better” ticket.

Yes it’s all but a scam. Yes most people learn this the hard way (me included). And nope, there’s probably nothing you can do about it if that is in fact what’s happened.
