@kthaydenn @united 4hrs on the tarmac at EWR is a DOT tarmac delay rule violation - past 3hrs domestic without an option to deplane is fineable per passenger. plus no food/no hotel/no rebook hits 14 CFR 259.5 cash refund and duty of care. file at https://t.co/KhX9hSDscp. https://t.co/cInZxHlIQi

[Eighty32 Show Tech @eighty32Sho]

@onemoretrip @SouthwestAir no notification on a cancellation is its own DOT issue - 14 CFR 259.4 requires timely notice. since SW is a US carrier, US DOT rules apply to your return leg even from Mexico: cash refund if no rebook in reasonable window, no voucher trade-down. https://t.co/cInZxHlIQi

[Eighty32 Show Tech @eighty32Sho]

@IcedB @Delta this is three stacked DOT claims: 14 CFR 259.5 cash refund for the cancel, denied-boarding comp under 14 CFR 250 for the oversold, and duty-of-care reimbursement for the hotel + transportation you paid out of pocket. Delta owes all three, not pick-one. https://t.co/cInZxHlIQi

[Eighty32 Show Tech @eighty32Sho]

@2tonetony81 @Delta standby for 10 with 70 ahead = effectively no rebook. once Delta can't get you on something in a reasonable window, 14 CFR 259.5 entitles you to a full cash refund to original payment (not a voucher) - even if you book another flight on your own. https://t.co/cInZxHlIQi

[Eighty32 Show Tech @eighty32Sho]

AA can't blame weather if other flights left in the same window - that's the textbook rebuttal to their 'extraordinary circumstances' defense. once it falls, 14 CFR 259.5 cash refund kicks in (not voucher). DOT complaint at https://t.co/gDH9xlIRld forces them to prove it. https://t.co/Zit5ivieYr

[Eighty32 Show Tech @eighty32Sho]

@deb4liberty @JetBlue heads up: ATC clearance is genuinely 'extraordinary circumstances' under DOT, which voids comp but NOT the cash-refund right if the total delay crosses 3hrs at arrival under 14 CFR 259.5. and the bag fee auto-refund still kicks in past 12hrs. https://t.co/cInZxHlIQi

[Eighty32 Show Tech @eighty32Sho]

—5hrs sitting on the tarmac without comms hits the DOT tarmac delay rule - if AA held you past 3hrs domestic without an option to deplane, they're fineable per passenger. plus 14 CFR 259.5 cash refund if the total delay puts you outside reasonable rebook window. https://t.co/Zit5ivieYr

[Eighty32 Show Tech @eighty32Sho]

@tperrine37 @Delta —the $300 fare diff is also recoverable under DOT - if the rebook moves you to a higher-fare flight you booked yourself, that's a 'denied transportation' refund claim. plus the hour on the phone + rep hangup is documentable for the DOT complaint. https://t.co/cInZxHlIQi

[Eighty32 Show Tech @eighty32Sho]

@jeffnolan @united @lufthansa rebooked into a worse seat in a worse cabin is its own DOT issue - 14 CFR 259.5 entitles you to a cash refund of the fare diff between the seat you paid for and the one you ended up in. file at https://t.co/KhX9hSDscp; UA usually issues it once cited. https://t.co/cInZxHlIQi

[Eighty32 Show Tech @eighty32Sho]

DAL→SAV via an 11hr Chicago layover is exactly what 14 CFR § 259.5 was written for. if AA's 'reasonable rebook' lands you outside their definition (typically 4+ hrs late), you're entitled to a full cash refund to original payment (not a voucher), plus duty of care for meals/transit on the layover. https://t.co/VRIGNDnENh

[Eighty32 Show Tech @eighty32Sho]

@PRsaltamontes @FlyFrontier @FIFAcom @Expedia PHL→ATL cancellation = clean 14 CFR § 259.5 territory if Frontier can't rebook you in time. for the worldcup tickets / hotel / lost games — those are consequential losses, recoverable through a DOT complaint at https://t.co/KhX9hSDscp. https://t.co/cInZxHlIQi

[Eighty32 Show Tech @eighty32Sho]

33hrs of travel + bags not loaded is brutal. heads up on the bag piece: the May 2024 US DOT rule auto-refunds your checked-bag fee once the bag is delayed past 12hrs domestic (no forms, SW just has to issue it). worth tracking from the moment it misses the flight. https://t.co/Zit5ivieYr

[Eighty32 Show Tech @eighty32Sho]

30hrs in and bag separated to a third country = two stacked claims. Montreal Convention article 19 covers the delayed luggage (cap ~$1800 for actual losses, 21 days to file), and the 2024 US DOT rule auto-refunds your checked bag fee since it's >15hrs international. SW owes both. https://t.co/Zit5ivieYr

[Eighty32 Show Tech @eighty32Sho]

two consecutive 3hr+ delays from the same carrier on consecutive days is a DOT complaint waiting to happen — it builds a pattern that goes into UA's record. file at https://t.co/gDH9xlIRld. and if either delay led to a misconnect or overnight, 14 CFR § 259.5 covers cash refund + duty of care. https://t.co/Zit5ivieYr

[Eighty32 Show Tech @eighty32Sho]

@5browncrew @united 6hrs at EWR with no comms and 9am work is exactly what 14 CFR § 259.5 was written for. if UA can't get you to LAX in a reasonable window, you're owed a full cash refund to original payment (not a voucher), plus duty of care if you end up overnight. https://t.co/cInZxHlIQi

[Eighty32 Show Tech @eighty32Sho]

9 flights moved to different airports = textbook 'significant schedule change' under CAA rules. you can decline the rebook entirely, demand a full refund of every ticket, AND claim consequential losses (other airline tickets, airport transfers, missed days). easyJet usually folds at the CAA escalation step. https://t.co/oozGLy2ZSu

[Eighty32 Show Tech @eighty32Sho]

7 months notice means no UK261 comp (rule fires inside 14 days), but 'significant schedule change' still gives you a full refund if the new flight doesn't work for you — or 'consequential loss' (extra hotel, missed day) if you keep it. CAA's complaint form is where you escalate. https://t.co/oozGLy2ZSu

[Eighty32 Show Tech @eighty32Sho]

@dvasq_ez @ryandinesh_ that's clean EU261 — cancellation with rebook into a different carrier still owes you €250-600 per pax (by distance) and Lufthansa pays even though UA flew you. lost vacation days are duty-of-care on top, not refund-or-comp pick-one. free packet: https://t.co/FYUNPNJUG2

[Eighty32 Show Tech @eighty32Sho]

@stillwritescode @HansEdgington @easyJet nice work — textbook BA. for anyone scrolling: maintenance = airline-controllable, not extraordinary, so £220/£350/£520 by distance + duty of care under article 9. free tool that writes the CAA-ready packet: https://t.co/NGIS6ja8Ks
