We did this once. $6K for family of 4. We had multiple connections to make and all of that also worked out . Our bags arrived in another country and was kept with the airport authorities. We were able to track it because we had airtags in all of them.

This is exactly what I was thinking!

We've done it and haven't had issues with the vouchers, but DH and I have pretty flexible jobs and only 1 DS. We never put anything important in checked luggage or anything that we couldn't go more than a few days without or be able to have access to at our destination.

I would not think twice regarding, "would have done".
That's not how I live. It's in the past. Try that mindset, it's very freeing.

They would have pulled your bags and sent them on your new itinerary.

For $6K I would skip a couple days of Synthroid.

It’s water under the bridge now. Why worry about it?

This. They are not a realistic choice for a family.

I think they are annoying to use anyway. I tried to use an Alaska voucher and remember it was a bit of a pain- wouldn’t cover taxes or booking multiple flights. I can’t remember what but it wasn’t as great as it seemed.

Lesson learned- keep the tampons and Synthroid in your carry on.

AND you can always send 2 home and have 2 stay behind.

Yesterday I was flying home with my husband and two kids out of Utah. We had a direct flight that was oversold so they offered people $1500 each in travel certificates to take a later flight with a connection and arrive six hours home later. That would have been 6 k for all. I didn’t say yes because I imagined getting stuck in the connecting city and the bags would have stayed on original flight so I didn’t have contacts or synthroid or tampons and my kids didn’t have their coats. But now I really regret it. What would you have done?
