Okudingayo ukwazi mayelana nokukhansela ithikithi lomvuzo.
Ngezinye izikhathi impilo ifika endleleni, futhi izinhlelo zethu zokuhamba ezihamba kahle kakhulu zifika emangcwabeni. Kodwa kwenzekani uma uke wabhala lezo zindawo zokuhlala ngezindleko zakho zezintambo eziningi? Ungase uzibuze ukuthi uzolahlekelwa yini amaphuzu atholakele kanzima nokuthi yiziphi izinhlawulo ozobhekana nazo.
Izindaba ezinhle ukuthi izindiza zinezinqubomgomo ezikhona ukuze uqiniseke ukuthi ungazibuyisela emuva. Izindaba ezimbi ukuthi inqubomgomo ngayinye ihlukile, futhi kunezinhlobo zemali ehlanganisiwe ekukhanseleni amathikithi omvuzo.
Ngalokho engqondweni, kubalulekile ukuhlola ukuphrinta okuhle. Ngakho ngaphambi kokuthi uchofoze 'ukubhuka manje,' ubuke ulwazi engikuqoqe lapha mayelana nabanye abathwali abathandwayo nezinqubomgomo zabo zokukhansela amathikithi omvuzo.
Alaska Airlines
Unenhlanhla uma ukhansela ithikithi lakho elibhuliwe ngamamayela we-Mileage Plan zingakapheli izinsuku ezingu-60 ngosuku lwakho lokuhamba. Ukushintsha nokukhishwa kwemali kukhishwa uma ungakwazi ukudonsa ipulaki kuleso sakhiwo sesikhathi. Uma ungakwazi, lindela ukukhokha imali eyi-$ 125. Uma lokho kukhokhwa, amamayela akho azofakwa kabusha ku-akhawunti yakho futhi noma yiziphi izintela ezikhokhwayo zizobuyiselwa imali. Noma kunjalo, isikhungo socingo kanye nemali yomklomelo womlingani ayikhokhwa imali.
Ama-American Airlines
Uma ithikithi lingapheli yisikhathi, ungacela ukuba ufake amamayela wakho we-AAdvantage ukuze uthole ithikithi lomklomelo ongasetshenzisiwe ngokuphelele we-AAdvantage. Inkokhelo yokwenza lokho yi-$ 150 nge-akhawunti yekithikithi yokuqala yomklomelo, bese u-$ 25 ngamunye ngamanye amathikithi abanjwe nge-akhawunti efanayo.

Kumelwe ukhansele amathikithi omklomelo okungenani amahora angu-72 ngaphambi kokuqala kwesikhathi sokuhamba kwezindiza ukuze ube nalawo makhilomitha omklomelo abuyele ku-akhawunti yakho.
Frontier
Uma udinga ukukhansela ithikithi lakho lokukhipha, lindela ukukhokha imali engu-$ 75 yokubuyisela imali ukuze uthole ukubuyela kwakho emuva kwamamayela.

Awekho amacala amathikithi abanjwe njenge-Blue Flex.
Engeningizimu-ntshonalanga
Inqubomgomo yaseningizimu-ntshonalanga kuwumoya womoya omusha wabahambi ababhekene nokukhanselwa kwethikithi ebhaliswe ngokusebenzisa amaphuzu emivuzo. I-airline ibonisa "izinkokhelo zokushintsha azishiyi nathi" inqubomgomo ngakho akukho mali noma izinhlawulo ezisebenza. Icela amakhasimende ukuthi avumele kuze kube yizinsuku ezine ngemuva kosuku lokushayela kokugcina ukuze amaphuzu abuyiselwe.
U-United

Funda phezulu ngezinqubomgomo zakho zezinhlelo, ubone ukuthi unesimo esiphansi yini (noma sichitha) ukubuyisela imali, futhi ungabi yikhombisa. Uzobe ulungele ukuthatha isinyathelo esifanele uma udinga ukuthola ukubuyiswa kokubuyiselwa komvuzo.
