Question:

My question is simple, when an airline "simply" decides to cancel a flight; not due to weather or strikes or anything like that, maybe they do not have a replacement plane for one with a problem, or there are not enough people etc. (has all happened to be by Spirit Air) and Spirit does not refund me my ticket; also happened to me can I buy Insurance to cover such happenings? I have to fly Spirit to a city and I want to be prepared.

Answer:

There are numerous Trip Insurance products that can offer coverage for trip delay, loss of checked luggage and cancellation coverage. This is just dependent on the product. Unfortunately, there isn't a product that will refund the cost of your ticket if they cancel the flight the day of. Typically that would go through the airline, as they are responsible for returning your money if services were not rendered for what you paid for. The only other option that could be beneficial to you is a product with the Cancel for Any Reason benefit, however such benefit can only be acquired if purchased within a certain number of days of the initial trip payment and typically has to be used 3 days prior to the trip if you intend on canceling. Please review the products and their certificate wordings for full information on eligibility and benefits.
