Cancelled Credit Card still protected for purchases

loumcg33

I purchased flights for this June on my credit card last year. I have since swapped credit card providers to a 0% interest one. Earlier this month I cancelled my original credit card account with the provider and didn't even think about my flight purchase that I done on it last year! Now that it is cancelled have I lost any protection that I had on the purchase? Or am I still covered somehow as the purchase hasn't been fulfilled yet? 
I cancelled the account approx 3 weeks ago so I'm wondering if there is possibly a way to reinstate the credit card account with the provider, or would this make no difference now?

Section 75 still applies.

You can't reinstate the account.

As do chargebacks.

Only thing is some airlines want to see the card used for payment.
