I was told by many people that their having this issue. I think action must be taken and there's should be a joint complaint with the DoT regarding this. They initially said 30 days but now say up to 90 days! CRAZY!

Also waiting, since March 25th. Received an email on April 24th that we have received your refund request. But still waiting.

I cant decline the charge because i booked with chase ultimate rewards and they said that they need the airline's consent first which isn't forthcoming for around 90 days. If you have a paid ticket most agencies reccomend a charge back after the time alloted for the refund has past.

My tickets are revenue TLV to LHR, don’t think DOT will be able to help for this.

I waited a couple of weeks for a refund from AA. Filled out the DOT form today and refund was just approved. Either one big coincidence or it works

Virgin can't put up a fight because they legally have to give that refund!

they could ban you, possibly
close your mileage account?

They won't because there are so many complaints
