Important Travel Tips and Fine Print in Airline Terms and Conditions
When your flight is canceled, you are entitled to a refund if you choose not to take an alternative flight or compensation offered by the airline. It is crucial to be aware of this right as airlines may offer miles or rebooking, but you have the option for a cash refund which the airline must provide. The Department of Transportation can enforce this rule if needed. Passengers often overlook this entitlement and may unknowingly settle for less valuable compensation like miles, which are typically worth only one or two cents each. Therefore, knowing your right to a cash refund, which can be significantly more valuable, is essential for all travelers.
