Vicky Cordes faces a frustrating battle to use her $3,157 airline ticket credit from a canceled Virgin Atlantic flight during the pandemic. Despite booking through GBV Travel Services and payment via Expedia, she's caught in a cycle of finger-pointing between her travel advisor, the wholesaler, and the airline.
