If she sends money for the ticket I’d suggest that you use it to buy another ticket for a lady friend and still go visit.
Do not seek any kind of petty revenge. If you get the money from her good, if not, well ok. You got the airline credit, that is usually good for a year, who knows what will come up.
Welcome to life, be grateful that this experience was so cheap.
500 bucks is below the going rate for being dicked over.
And you can still go somewhere and do something for that cost, so move on.
No, I’d say his dickover was much more then $500.
Let me tighten up that last sentence for you a bit:
“Who gives a shit.”
There. That scans much nicer.
Spectacular news that you got a credit for that flight. You’re a free man, FREE I tell you!
Last bit 'o advice. You need to get yourself a good testicle clamp. They can be had at Big Stu’s house of metaphorical devices. When she comes back around with her “Umm, Hi?” B.S., just reach down and tighten that clamp a little bit. It can be anything, for me it was the image of my now-ex-wife sucking some guy’s dick on my front porch. But I’m sure you can dredge up something…like having you buy at ticket to fucking Fairbanks Alaska only to cancel at the last second.
Use the money you would have spent on her to do faaaabulous things with new people. Fuck 'er. And I mean that in the rottenest sense of the word.
