If your flight has been canceled, there’s a good chance that your airline will offer you flight credits to compensate. Still, what you may not realize is that each airline has its own conditions when it comes to the use of these credits. Here’s what you need to know to get the most out of your flight credits.

Know The Expiration Policy

Oftentimes, airlines have a flight credit expiration policy, meaning that you’ll only be able to use them on a flight for a limited time. Make sure to confirm the expiration policy with your airline in particular so that you don’t lose out.

Understand How To Use It

While some airlines allow you to pay for your flight using flight credits online, others require you to call a customer service number in order to do so. If you booked your flight through a travel agent, you may need your travel agent to arrange the flight using credits on your behalf. Once again, doing your research on the airline concerned is vital.
