I booked a round trip flight from Raleigh, NC to Kingston, Jamaica on American Airlines through Expedia.com. The trip is from May 29th to June 3rd. I was recently told that I got hired at a new job which will begin in May. Unfortunately, since I will have just started at my new job, I will not have any vacation time accrued to take my trip.
I called Expedia and American Airlines and they both refused to refund me my money or give me flight credit. They said that since my ticket is a "Basic Economy" ticket, it is non-refundable. Is there anything I can do to get my money back for this flight? I do not want to miss out on the opportunity to work at this new company, but I also do not want to lose $600. Any help or guidance you can provide would be much appreciated.
