I booked a "basic economy" airline ticket a few weeks ago, and according to the fine print this ticket is nonrefundable and can't be changed. Just my luck, though, I can't take the flight due to a last minute, unavoidable change of plans. The flight is scheduled for Monday morning and the carrier is Delta.
Based on various articles I've read online, it looks highly unlikely that I'll be able to convince the folks at Delta to allow me to re-book the flight for a later date or give me any sort of reimbursement for the fare (around $300). I'm going to call and give it a shot, though.
Wondering if any of you have ever had any luck getting reimbursed (even partially) for a nonrefundable "basic economy" fare. Any tips, tricks, or strategies for what to say when I call?
