Consumer Warrior Clark Howard: Buy holiday airline tickets now instead of later

Jacksonville FL — We’re not even to Halloween yet and Consumer Warrior Clark Howard says you should start thinking about buying your airline tickets now instead of later due to the pandemic. Typically getting airline tickets in October is a terrible idea, but Clark says due to the Delta variant, and all the variables that come with that, getting your tickets now is a good call.

Now whether or not you need to get ticket insurance depends.

“If they let you hold the money for future travel without penalty, which most airlines are in most cases, then I think you pass on the insurance”. Clark says.

But if you get tickets that are non-refundable or non-changeable then getting ticket insurance is a good idea Clark says.
