This new feature with travel site Expedia seems great!

Just thought why not when I booked this ticket with a feature that cost $18. IF price goes down before flight they REFUND you!

need to buy it for half empty flights is my guess. Prices seem to all go up on most flight, in my experience.

A refund of $158.01 is coming your way. Congrats!

We’ve automatically refunded you, using your original payment method.
It may take up to 7 working days before it’s in your account.

Would be a nice feature, but I'm skeptical.

again? But typically for me, flights go up every day before departure. So you must have to look and see...

Must be common or they wouldn't offer coverage to make $$?

If flight practically empty, they will lower so buy coverage?. Otherwise don't?
