What do you pay your tickets with?

The cheap-priced national airline Flying Finn is about to file its bankruptcy application tomorrow. Naturally, those 20000 tickets already booked are on shaky ground if the company operations are stopped abruptly.

What is interesting is that the Finnish Consumer Agency noted that if the plane tickets have been bought with credit card, the credit card company must pay back the price of the tickets. However, should the tickets have been bought with plain cash, then it is up to the buyer to claim his or her money directly from the company.

Personally, I would have thought that the CC company isn’t liable in this kind of situation, but apparently it is. Another reason to use plastic instead of cash.
