A must read if you’re a flyer.

ICYMI: U.S. travelers are officially entitled to compensation from airlines for canceled or significantly delayed flights.

Specifically, the rules require airlines to automatically refund passengers when:
⏰ Their flights are canceled or significantly changed
🧳 Checked bags are significantly delayed
✈️ Airlines don't provide extra services as purchased

Keep in mind: The rules do not apply to travelers who accept the airline's offer to rebook them on a later flight when their original itinerary is canceled or significantly delayed.

These new rules are significant because for the first time, even if it's outside the airlines' control like storms or other severe weather, passengers are entitled to a refund.

The DOT considers the following to be "significant changes:"
-A domestic itinerary's departure or arrival is pushed back by three or more hours
-An international flight's departure or arrival is pushed back six or more hours
-An itinerary is moved up by six-plus hours
-A traveler's origin or destination is altered
-Situations where the traveler ends up with more connections
-When a traveler is downgraded to a lower class of service
-When a traveler with a disability is forced to travel through one or more connecting airports that differ from the original itinerary
-When a traveler with a disability must fly on an aircraft that is less accessible or accommodating than the one originally planned

Per the DOT, refunds must be issued to the original form of payment within seven business days for credit card purchases and 20 days for all other payment methods.

Airlines must also notify affected travelers of their right to a refund for ticket expenses and any extra service fees.

Airlines cannot offer vouchers, credits or other forms of compensation in lieu of the original form of payment unless the passenger chooses to accept these alternative options.

Lastly, in instances where a customer is not able to travel to, from or within the U.S. due to a contagious illness, the new rule requires airlines to provide a travel credit or voucher that is valid for at least five years.
