Nostromo, you should be covered under the airline failure insurance that you will almost certainly have paid for in with your ticket price (usually about £3-£6 each person).

I'd contact where you booked the flight(s) and ask them what arrangements can be made if this happens. At the very least, they can explain the airline failure insurance in detail to you.

We're flying with US Airways on 13 January (hope it's not unlucky!) from Orlando to Chicago so it could apply to us too.

Blott, I just heard from Wexas. Apparently, US Airways, like Air Canada and a few other carriers, is now under 'Chapter 11' and so NOT subject to Airline Failure Insurance. He told me that if US Airways folds, there will be no cover. He agreed that it might be a safer option (for me) to swap to American Airlines and my Plan B, going to Raleigh instead of Charlotte.
