  After this there is likely to be devaluations across the broad.

    No, it is likely to be the best opportunity of your life to get the seats you wanted on the days you wanted.

    I doubt that we’ll see gratuitous Marriott-style category creep or QR-style wholesale devaluations for at least 5 years. Ever since the index patient turned up in a Wuhan hospital, people have consistently underestimated the magnitude of this crisis and the consequences that stem from it.

    Most points/miles sites and travel bloggers will go the way of all flesh (I hope that HFP makes it through). I expect business travel to permanently realign in some different form*. It will never quite go back to what it was – and that’s a good thing in some ways.

    * Nothing is really permanent but as JM Keynes said: “We’re all dead in the long run.”

  Has anyone successfully made a S75 for consequential loss for airline insolvency / cancelled flights, in terms of getting a new flight booked (if not already abroad)?

  If so, what credit card provider? Was it a reward booking or cash?

  Thanks
