Have questions about compensation for flight delays and cancellations? Here's what to know.
A lot of you have questions about the new Department of Transportation rules regarding compensation for flight delays and cancellations, which will take effect in October.Recently, a viewer emailed Rossen Reports asking if they could get a refund for a canceled flight a couple of years ago.We reached out to the nonprofit Group FlyersRights, which told us that in their experience, Delta and Southwest typically give you a year to claim a refund, but it’s not immediately clear with other airlines.
So, if your flight was canceled, then the airline rebooked you to fly out the next day, and if you do that, you do not get a refund.These new DOT rules clearly establish what constitutes a significant delay. For a domestic flight, it's three hours. For an international flight, it's six hours. The new rules also require the airlines to tell you if you're eligible for a refund – instead of you having to jump through hoops.
