flights for interviews - random random question

[toffeetree]

hey, i was wondering - in light of the craziness of booking flights for med school interviews, so this is somewhat relevant to premed discussions - if you book a flight through expedia, and end up paying for it but not actually going on the flight, will they charge you anything (aside from what you paid for the flight)? i booked a cheap flight, but my plans changed, and the cancellation fees would be more than the cost of my flight.

I don't think so.

Just make sure you don't check in. They might think you're a terrorist or something!

I would check with whoever you bought your ticket.

 

I know that for flight passes, to deter people from buying cheap tickets they won't use, there is a hefty fee if you no-show.

Why would they care though? Whether you showed up or not, they still get the money.

Does anyone have any experience with Air Canada flight passes? They seem pretty expensive to me, and perhaps not worth it. I'm talking about using them for residency interviews (maybe a little off topic).
