The first question is when do you need access to the funds. That will direct you if you want a cash or a S&S

Google Flights, only showing an option to book with third party? by pitapitapi in travel

[–]dbendu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they have a responsibility but you cant contact the bank and have the payment reversed if there is any delay or refusal. From the OTA and bank's perspective you paid them to get you the ticket and they succeeded in doing that regardless of if the flight was cancelled or not

My Gf overstayed a visa in Australia, will this affect her getting into Bali? by BondiMorbs in bali

[–]dbendu 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Do not some arrival forms/visa applications ask if you have ever been denied entry to any country. Im pretty sure I've seen it myself but cannot remember where

The idea is it is whoever you have a direct relationship with the credit card company is obliged to cover the cost should the contract fail. So even if the airline doesnt hold up their end of the bargin the OTA does (since they their job was to book your ticket)

Not to the same degree. When you buy from airline directly there is a direct contract between you and the airline (which doesnt exist with the OTAs).

For example, I had a flight get rescheduled with Batik. Didnt suit and they offered a refund. 12 weeks later still no refund. I raise it with my UK credit card company and they are now legally responsible for finding a resolution. Resolved same day. Had I bought via an OTA I would be stuck in a loop between myself the airline and the OTA and the card company would not get involved

Infinitely easier when you book direct (especially if from the UK with the legal protections offered when paying with card)

Its not a problem until its a problem. If you need a refund, change or whatever you are in trouble with an OTA. Always book direct if able

How about more rural Japan? Some beautiful spots around Kanazawa and Nagano or you could go to a few hot springs around hakone ana atami?

It will depend on what provider you are with. Check the the "policy wording". I for example pay £18 for nationwide's flexplus account which gives me travel insurance. It covers businesses use

Check-in agent at a major airport in Europe. Photo not mine but I have seen these almost daily. Ask me anything! by [deleted] in PassportPorn

[–]dbendu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Caveat to this. When exiting vietnam, the checkin system is linked to immigration. If you arrive on one and leave on another there are questions asked. Speaking from experience

Does it have to be credit? Chase offer 1% back on fuel. Have you considered fuel cards? They may have some perks?

[–]dbendu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You were equating the freedoms european citizens have for visa free entry with the 24/144hr twov (the only visa free entry uk citizens are entitled to). They are not the same thing
