It's already shaping up to be a busy summer travel season, several airlines canceled thousands of flights as they deal with ongoing staffing issues. To have the best experience, experts want you to know that if an airline cancels your flight and you don’t want to travel anymore, you are entitled to a refund.
Lousson Smith, product operations specialist for Scott’s Cheap Flights suggests you read more about the Department of Transportation’s rules regarding flight delays and cancellations.
When it comes to flight delays, each airline has specific policies on what they will do for you. To save you time on Google, you can read more about the policies of a specific airline in the links below.
- Delta Air Lines
- American Airlines (scroll to the Delays, cancellations, and diversions section)
- JetBlue Airways
- Spirit Airlines
- United Airlines
- Southwest Airlines
Now, if you haven't booked your trip, it's not too late. To get the best deal, Lousson recommends that you book at least a few months in advance. That means that you can plan for a late summer vacation in early August or even start considering flights for the fall.
