DOT forcing airlines to give full refunds for canceled and delayed flights

Airline stocks are under pressure after a new Department of Transportation rule will require passengers to receive a full refund for canceled, delayed, or changed flights.

“Passengers deserve to get their money back when an airline owes them – without headaches or haggling,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in a statement.

Passengers are now entitled to cash if they refuse other accommodations for a flight that has been canceled or “significantly changed.” This includes flights in which the departure or arrival times are three or more hours different than scheduled for domestic flights or six hours for international flights. The new rule also applies to situations where the airport is changed, or connections have been added.

Passengers are also entitled to a refund of their checked bag fee if their baggage is delayed by 12 hours after a domestic flight or 15-30 hours of an international flight arriving at the gate.
