Passengers want refunds, but airlines are often offering more limited alternatives

Airlines and other travel companies are offering limited flexibility to travelers worried about coronavirus, and some restrictions still in force leave travelers paying what amount to virus fees.

United Airlines even changed its rules over the weekend to make it harder to get refunds, then altered the rules again Tuesday night to make them more vague, demonstrating how chaotic and confusing the whole situation can be for travelers.

Alaska puts the refund (sort of) in a credit account for future use up to February 2021. I'm likely to fly elsewhere between now and then but it's better than being told to get lost. I hate flying like I hate cleaning up after the dog, but sometimes unavoidable. Drive if you can.

Every airline has a home base country. Time the home base countries mandated full refunds if airlines will not accept the moral duty to refund ! Qantas VirginAustralia

My students and I had to travel to Malaysia, but it had to be cancelled due to coronavirus, now they wont return our money.!!

I still didn’t get any response for my cancelled trip from my travel agency VAYAMA and airline was QATAR AIRLINES

Fly_Norwegian will NOT give credit if you cancel tix & have NOT waived change fees. US State Dept issued level 3 travel advisory for global travel & its a global pandemic but Norwegianair will not refund nor give credit unless country is banned.

Isn’t the credit good for a year after the cancellation rather than the original flight dates?

Maybe WSJ could take down their pay wall so readers could read this article...?

Boycott them when things get back to normal.

and many are offering jack if you booked your travel before the virus situation escalated in March. So if you knew it's bad and bought tickets anyways you get something. If you didn't know then you're out of luck.
