Unfortunately, since you are not:
1) A US citizen
2) flying a US airline
3) flying anywhere in the US
the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA)'s recent ruling most likely does
not apply to you. THeir ruling was that anyone with a ticket for a
flight that is/was schedueled to depart on 9/11, 9/12, 9/13 or 9/14 has
the right to request that it be rescheduled to *any* later date or
request a full refund without any financial penalty whatsoever.
My wife was scheduled to fly from San Francisco to Pittsburgh, PA on
9/12 (wednesday morning) and her flight was obviously canceled. She
quickly rescheduled it for wednesday evening, and that too was canceled.
So at that time she rescheduled it for late October.
