Booked flights and money back in my bank?

I booked some flights at the weekend and checked and it was 100% in my pending transactions and my booking has been confirmed.

I can still see my booking today but the pending transaction has disappeared and the money is back in my account?

Any ideas how long a company can re try if there has been a problem? Should i move it until i hear?

    I believe its 6 years but could be wrong, give google a try.

    Ask the airline or whoever you bought the flights from if there is an issue.
  • Have the flights been ticketed yet?

    If not, talk to the airline.

    6 months without warning you, after that, up to 6 years (5 in Scotland) but they should advise you first that they are going to request the money. Keep the money available for at least the next 6 months if you want to avoid unauthorised overdraft charges.

    I would be more worried about whether the flight had been booked or not.

    I probably would as well, but as that wasn't the question that the OP asked I thought it might be better to provide an answer to the one that was...
