Know Your Rights Before You Fly - Flying Rules
The U.S. Department of Transportation just rolled out a new rule β airlines must now post a clear, one-page "Passenger Rights Summary" on their websites! π
Here's what it covers:
β
Flight delays, cancellations & diversions β compensation, rebooking, meals & lodging
π§³ Mishandled baggage β your rights if it's lost, delayed, or damaged
πΊ Voluntary & involuntary bumping β what airlines owe you if you're denied boarding
No more digging through fine print. Airlines must display this info clearly (not buried in the footer!) so you know exactly what you're entitled to before you even book.
Want the full breakdown? We've simplified the DOT's new mandate so you don't have to. Read more on the blog
