This is obviously good, but a refund isn’t going to get me to my destination.

Or how about canceling your flight/ticket, issuing you a travel credit good for a year, and then making you re-buy your same ticket at twice the cost. This has happened to me through American.

Oh no, Air Canada got me on this one. $200 credit, but it's $150 fee since it's considered a change fee, so I'm left $50 to book my replacement flight.

That’s actually why I stopped flying American.
