Oh great, a whole $50 voucher for my wasted time. That'll cover the parking fees and my rising blood pressure. Cheers Southern Cross.
I agree $50 doesn't fix a ruined trip but at least it's something, better than a slap in the face lol.
As someone who works at the airport, let me tell you these delays are from crap planning by the airlines. Southern Cross is just cashing in on the chaos with a voucher that costs them nothing.
exactly mate, it's just a marketing gimmick to sell more policies. Don't fall for it.
$50 voucher? what a load of shit. I lost $200 on a missed connection last month. This is just a PR stunt.
facts. Last time I claimed 'travel delay' I needed a doctor's note for the stress. Joke.

I get that people are frustrated but honestly some places are trying to offer something. I'd rather have a $50 voucher than nothing. But yeah it doesn't cover the stress.
Anyone else remember when flights just ran on time? Now we're celebrating a voucher for a coffee at the airport bar. Ffs.
I still remember when flights were reliable. Now we're brainwashed to accept mediocrity. smh
This is just another way for insurance companies to avoid paying out real claims. Hope everyone reads the fine print before getting excited.
the inside, it's all about cost-cutting. They don't care about passengers. The voucher is just cheap PR.
Wait, so only flights delayed more than 3 hours qualify? And you need to have 'travel insurance' with them for how long? Yeah nah get stuffed.
I'd rather they just sorted the actual delays instead of vouchers. But nah, that would require actual effort.
The real question is how many hoops do you gotta jump through to actually get the voucher. Bet you need a signed letter from the pilot and a blood sample.
lol blood sample. Probably easier to just fly with a different airline than deal with the paperwork.
