Kundenverlust durch schlechte Rückerstattungserfahrung und fehlende CFAR-Optionen
Definition
Cover Genius research (2025) surveyed 612 German consumers: 69% would buy live event tickets if CFAR protection were offered; 65% would book flights with CFAR. Platforms offering CFAR see +50 NPS; those without see -67 NPS. Customers without CFAR abandon bookings or defect to competitors. Each lost booking represents €150–€400 revenue leakage and increased customer acquisition costs (+25%).
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: €150–€400 per lost booking; 15–22% booking abandonment rate = €8M–€15M annual revenue loss for mid-size German travel agencies (€50M+ annual revenue). Additionally, +25% increase in customer acquisition cost (CAC) to replace churned customers = €400K–€800K/year marginal spend.
- Frequency: Continuous; every booking inquiry without clear CFAR option triggers abandonment.
- Root Cause: Opaque refund policies, manual CFAR eligibility verification, inability to offer flexible fares due to airline contract complexity, and lack of real-time CFAR pricing models.
