A Cumberland County widow struggled to get a refund for a flight credit that belonged to her late husband.
The flight credit dates back to 2020 during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We bought plane tickets in 2020 for a wedding we were going to and they canceled on us due to COVID,” Laura said. The flight was with Southwest Airlines. “At first they were giving us a year to use the tickets as time went on they turned into a lifetime credit.”
Laura said she and her husband Joseph were happy with and planned to use the credits at a later date. But then tragedy struck and Joseph died.

Misfortune after misfortune continues to plague Rod Ashby. Now add an unscrupulous scammer to the mix.
“When my husband passed away I started calling them and asking them about the credit. They were very sympathetic and said we would credit your credit card back,” Laura said.
She was told to wait 30 days for the credit, but after a month, she still had not received it. So she called Southwest again and said she was promised again that she’d get the refund within 30 days.
