I am shopping for trip cancellation insurance just now. I am thinking of just insuring myself for the cost of the land tour, and not the airfare, since if the airline somehow defaulted they would have to reimburse you, and if I had to cancel the trip the airline would allow me credit toward another flight in the future (less a penalty, of course). Does this sound reasonable?


Impeccable logic. Airlines that go bankrupt always re-imburse their affected passengers.


Thanks a lot. The airline in question is American, and I have not heard that they are in any jeopardy. A response to the actual question would be appreciated.
