I've lost my flight tickets

Always treat airline tickets, as you would cash. Some airlines will replace lost tickets by the indemnity system, whereby you will receive a replacement ticket on signing a guarantee to pay the airline should the lost ticket be used fraudulently and cause loss to the airline. Other airlines however do not use this system, and will insist on you repurchasing your ticket at the local rate and will only refund the original after 12 - 18 months. Whilst other airlines will simply charge a re-issue fee of £40-60 approximately.  It is recommended that you keep a record of your tickets numbers on a separate piece of paper.
