Pro tip

Check your credit card's travel benefits

If you booked with a Chase Sapphire, Amex Platinum, or similar card, you likely have trip delay or cancellation insurance built in. Call the benefits number on the back of the card — it's separate from a chargeback and can pay out $500-$10,000 depending on your card.
