Which airlines allow re-faring?

Very interesting post over at the Upgrade Travel Blog (via Gary Leff): http://upgradetravel.blogspot.com/2006/03/black-art-of-repricing-tickets.html

Apparently if you buy a ticket, and the price goes down, United and US Air will give you a voucher for the difference (only upon request, of course).

What other airlines do this? Does Qantas?

Anyone here tried this before?

Qantas? Haha - yeah right!

No wonder United and US Air are going bust.

Nah its purely an invention of us-based airlines. No one else has been silly enough to follow them. It comes up as a topic on FT from time to time.

Qantas just change your ticket to a Jetstar operated service :twisted:

With Qantas, if you find a cheaper fare you are quite welcome to cancel your current ticket and book at the cheaper fare. But you need to be aware of two things - refund of the original ticket may take 6 to 8 weeks to be processed, and the original ticket may have cancellation restrictions which will be applied.

Note this is common practise with hotel bookings, without the time lapses & (most) cancellation restrictions.
