$50 Frontier Voucher For Cancelling Flights By Monday March 23rd
I was supposed to be flying frontier this upcoming Thursday for a March Madness trip to Vegas 😢. That is obviously no longer happening and Las Vegas is completely shut down now (check out these eerie pictures). I had cancelled my Frontier flights a few weeks ago an already got my credit. My buddy still has not got around to cancelling his yet and he received an interesting offer from Frontier. They are offering a $50 Frontier voucher for cancelling flights by tomorrow, March 23rd.

Final Thoughts
I am a little jealous about this since I had booked for me and two other buddies so that would have been an additional $150 for us. But I also wish these airlines would simply refund the money versus offering a travel credit, especially if they want a bailout. Who knows when things will be back to normal and when we can fly again. Frontier putting a 90 day expiration on their vouchers originally was overly punitive as well. Hopefully some of those things get addressed in the coming weeks.

Actually, I now see tix must have been purchased by March 20th
Eric – I was thinking of doing the exact same thing. My flight is in June. I understand it is likely we will not be out of this mess by then, but I’m still hopeful. So I was thinking of canceling and rebooking. Another issue that I have with all of this – including the bail out – is the fact that airfare will probably increase dramatically when all of this smooths over. So I will get a credit for the flights that I had at decent prices, but it will cost me a lot more to rebook later.
That makes sense on the refund vs voucher. I figured they would just cancel if they wanted to anyway. Still wondering if I can buy a ticket today and cancel and get the voucher.
I don’t understand. What’s their rationale of enticing people to cancel? Can I book a new reservation today and then cancel it for a $50 voucher?
My only guess would be so that they can cancel flights that are most affected. Other thing may be if they do cancel flights they have to give a refund where when people cancel they give out vouchers instead. Those would be my two guesses at least.
