When flights are canceled or delayed, you're legally entitled to:
• Refunds
• Alternate transportation
• Compensation for additional expenses
• Reimbursement for flight-related expenses
In the U.S., the Department of Transportation (DOT) requires airlines to compensate passengers for delays and cancellations.
The DOT's rules do not specify an amount but require airlines to provide meals, accommodations, and transportation to and from the airport.
Under European Union (EU) regulations, if your flight is canceled or significantly delayed, you may be entitled to compensation from the airline if the delay or cancellation was within the airline's control.
The first thing you should do is contact the airline to determine your options.
• If your flight has been canceled, many airlines offer to either reschedule your flight later or provide a full refund for the ticket.
• If your flight has been delayed, many airlines offer compensation or assistance, such as meals or hotel accommodations, depending on the length of the delay and the circumstances.
If you experienced a significant delay or other inconvenience, you may be able to receive additional compensation to cover any additional expenses you incurred as a result.
If you cannot find a satisfactory resolution, you can file a complaint with the Department of Transportation.

When I called @Tim_Walz this morning to ask him to join our campaign, I shared my deep level of respect for him and the work we've done together.
We're going to unify this country and we're going to win.
Let's go get this done.
Like all regular people in America's heartland, JD Vance studied at Yale, had his career funded by Silicon Valley billionaires, and wrote a bestseller trashing that community.
Come on.
I can't wait to debate the guy—that is, if he's willing to get off the couch and show up.
I am proud to announce that I've asked @Tim_Walz to be my running mate.
As a governor, a coach, a teacher, and a veteran, he's delivered for working families like his.
It's great to have him on the team.
Now let’s get to work. Join us:

It is the honor of a lifetime to join @kamalaharris in this campaign.
I’m all in.
Vice President Harris is showing us the politics of what’s possible. It reminds me a bit of the first day of school.
So, let’s get this done, folks! Join us. https://t.co/tqOVsw2OLM
Like Vice President Harris, Governor @Tim_Walz believes that government works to serve us. Not just some of us, but all of us. That’s what makes him an outstanding governor, and that’s what will make him an even better vice president. Michelle and I couldn’t be happier for Tim and Gwen, their family, and our country.
Educators won’t be silenced. Especially when it comes to advocating for our students. Educators in @BeckerSchools are fighting back against bad policies that would suppress teaching a complete history of America b/c it makes some uncomfortable. #AllAreWelcomeHere#BeckerStrong
Mr. Frerich said "If the Cubs win their Homecoming Football game by over 55 points, I'll shave my head." Today we watched it happen. #HesAGoodSport#CubsHavingFun
Georgia is having a runoff Jan 5 to decide who our 2 new senators will be. If those senators go blue Mitch McConnell will no longer be Senate Majority Leader. You have until December 7 to register to vote. Retweet to spread awareness even if you don’t live here.
