Sorry to hear that, as I know this was supposed to be a big trip for you and your family.
Funny you mention Allianz, as it totally skipped my mind to request a refund from them on our cancelled June trip. It wasn't a big amount of money, probably won't bother. Let me know what you find out on it..

Sad but not surprising. I have heard other reports of early to mid July flights being cancelled as well.

So sorry you had to cancel such a special trip.
This year will go down in history as the Year of ALL the Cancellations. Our youngest granddaughter missed out on her moving up to HS ceremony and our next Granddaughter missed out on her college graduation. I hope they have graduations for Grad School - she deserves to take that diploma walk.
It’s such a sad thing for all these young people but I can’t imagine the disappointment your family experienced losing not one but two significant anniversary celebrations. I know you’ll party one way or the other but a SXM vacation really is the best.
Respectfully,
pat

Just got email from Allianz that they approved and are processing both refunds to me. Quicker than I thought. Did you email them? I sent an inquiry through their web page about our canceled flights in March, and just remembered that I've not received a response.

I would’ve thought there was hope for an 11 July trip start but at some point you got to make a go/no decision.
Probably got that refund real quick because they knew they’d get the feared/respected “scubattol” treatment and didn’t want any bad publicity on the net.
Sounds like the airline made the decision.

Did AA offer a cash refund or flight credits? On my July trip (July 3 - 10) I was offered both. I could get either a voucher worth 20% more and valid through 12/2021 or cash back on my card.

eightzerobits--Not sure what airline, but regardless, if the airline cancels the flight, you are entitled to your money back, period. Unless you decide you want the credit instead.

OK, Jet Blue was one of the ones who were giving people trouble to begin with, but so long as they cancel, you should be fine, after some prodding from the USDOT..

Did AA offer a cash refund or flight credits? You have the option of either credit to method of original payment or a voucher of 120% of original cost. I opted for the credit to Bank Card.

Sorry it was all cancelled Scuba. We would've run into you again....lol. We should've been on island for a couple of weeks. July 8th is our 10th anniversary. We have NO idea or plans now. The world is such a mess. I'm not sure that there is even anyplace safe to go......

If I read you right AA canceled your July 11 flight CLT to SXM. Odd as my July 7th flight on AA via Miami is still active and booked. Wonder if it was the CLT origination that was the issue?

Gary--you don't have permanent residency on SXM, do you? As that flight may still be available as a repatriation flight, but I really doubt it's going to fly as a regular, commercial flight. Probably just haven't gotten around to cancelling it yet.

No not permanent. But one way as stay will be for 4 months. Gambling that airport opens July 1st. Need to get back to work on island property for hurricane season. Keeping fingers crossed.

So you insurance claim was for other costs then?
Just the price of the premium for the policy.

Carol, FYI the reason you could not see the AA July 7th Miami to SXM flight is because it is SOLD OUT. Only 3 seats in first left. Looks like there are a lot of people like me hoping to get on the island that day. :-)

Yep, definitely the year of cancelled trips. Cancelled Indian Wells Tennis tournament in March, St. Martin and St Barts April, Switzerland and Croatia August/ Sept. Hoping to go to Maui in Nov/ December, St Martin/Anguilla in January 2021, St. Martin/St Barts in April 2021 but who knows, and yes, very thank-full for what we have and understand there is a lot of financial and health suffering.

I tried to get a refund for our insurance as well. unfortunately, you must do it when you cancel your flights.
