View, CA Lines: 19 You left out an important one, especially important in view of the sometimes flaky behavior of airlines living in the fast lane: If you purchased your ticket through a travel agent, you are pretty much covered if the airline goes under, even temporarily, and refuses to honor the ticket. Travel agents have a trade association of some sort that insures you will either get a seat on another airline, most often at no additional expense, or get *all* your money back. If you bought your ticket directly from the airline, you are quite possibly out of luck. -- Eric Black "Garbage In, Gospel Out" UUCP: {sun,pyramid,hplabs,amdcad}!chronon!eric VOICE: (415) 941-0403 US SNAIL: Chronon Computer Corp. 2570 El Camino Real W.
