Flight Delayed or Canceled? Here’s What You’re Owed — And How to Get It

Let’s face it — flight delays and cancellations are never fun. But did you know that in some cases, you may actually be entitled to compensation or other benefits like meal vouchers or hotel stays?

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) now makes it easier than ever to understand what each airline promises when things don’t go as planned. Whether it’s a delay, cancellation, or you're bumped from a flight, their online dashboard spells out exactly what each U.S. airline is required to offer.

A few things to keep in mind:

• Each airline has different policies — don’t assume they all cover the same things.

• Most compensation rules apply when the issue is within the airline’s control (think staffing or maintenance, not weather).

• You usually have to ask for what you’re owed — it’s not always offered automatically.

As a travel advisor, I always stay on top of these things for my clients so they know their options and can avoid the stress. And honestly? Having someone in your corner when things go sideways can make a world of difference.
