Hundreds of thousands of air travelers are facing potential flight cancellations and delays this weekend, the peak of summer travel, as thunderstorms threaten the East Coast, West Coast and points in between.
Nearly 500 U.S. flights were canceled by midday Thursday, according to flight tracking service FlightAware, and more than 2,700 U.S. flights were delayed.
If you want to cancel the trip, you are entitled to a full refund, even if you bought non-refundable tickets. You’re also entitled to a refund of any bag fees, seat upgrades or other extras. Ebenhoch also suggested looking for alternative airports that are close to your original destination.No. As announced last month, the Biden adminstration is seeking to require that airlines compensate travelers and cover their meals and hotel rooms if they are stranded for reasons within the carrier’s control - but, as of now, each airline still has its own policies about providing for customers whose flights are canceled, according to the DOT.
Klee recommended comparing airlines’ policies on the DOT’s service dashboard. He also suggests reserving multiple flights and then canceling the ones you don’t use, as long as the airline will refund your money or convert it into a credit for a future flight.Flight cancellations trended lower throughout the spring of 2023 than last year, according to data from the FAA.
