This is not a good sign.

Just a consumer tip here. Never book your airline tickets directly with the airline. If the airline goes out of business you are SOL unless you can fight your credit card company. Who is also likely going to suffer.

Always buy your airline tickets through an entity that it licensed and registered as a Travel Agency in Ontario (TICO). If the airline (or hotel) goes out of business, your payment is insured through TICO.

Expedia.ca (Canada) is a TICO member. I don't think that Expedia.COM is. Not sure.

Whew! That was close. I always book with Expedia. Thanks for the tip.

How does Expedia handle flight changes, re-booking, and cancellation of flights? Do I go through Expedia or do I have to call the airline/carrier directly?
Different procedures for different airlines.

But generally you get a Booking Reference Code and then can go to the airline's website and use it to access your booking.

Flair is suing the company that leases the planes to them. Flair has been making payments to the leasing company. Apparently, the leasing company wants to get out of its contract with flair to lease to another airline that will pay more.

From the same article:

“The leasing of the four Airborne-managed aircraft was terminated following a five-month long period, during which Flair was regularly in default of its leases by failing to meet its payments when due, with payment arrears reaching millions of dollars,” Airborne said Tuesday. "

I tend to think that Flair fell behind and got called out on it. It's a terrible, terrible airline.

I don't know who to believe I have flights with flair in September should book with another airline.
