So I had a trip planned next week from Buffalo to Fort Lauderdale. A few days ago I cancelled because of COVID-19 of course. They gave me a credit toward my next flight since I booked the flight in January and couldn’t get a refund. I have no idea when a good time to consider rebooking is because I dont know when it will be safe to travel again... but Id like to book as soon as its safe to. Anyways, I was just playing around with some dates on the site for 4-5 months ahead to see what the fares are, and they are considerably more than what I paid before, plus nonstop flights are gone. This means id still have to pay a few hundred to rebook even with my credit applied. I know prices may lower, but if they dont, Im at a point where im considering booking with a cheaper airline and just saving the credit for another trip. Im already in enough of a bind with everything else being cancelled so seeing how much more id have to pay to rebook is disappointing. I guess my question is any of you think the fares will go down or if I should just try a different airline... ive seen flights for $175 on other websites... not nonstop, but still less.
