You Can Now Protect Your Flight & Bus Fares From Cancellation Thanks To Paytm

When we’re planning our vacations, we book our tickets in advance to avoid a surge in pricing closer to travel time and of course, for better seats. But sometimes, due to things not in our control, we might have to cancel tickets, and this can be an expensive affair, especially for flights. Since we end up losing a major chunk of the amount already paid (if not all) cancelling flight tickets are something we dread. However, this is bound to change, as Paytm has launched ‘Cancel Protect,’ which will allow you to claim a 100% refund! Intriguing, isn’t it? Here’s all about this new feature!
