What are you entitled to if your flight is canceled or delayed?
Airline passengers whose flights have been canceled are entitled to a full refund if you choose not to travel on an alternative route offered to you, even if you originally booked a non-refundable ticket, according to the Department for Transport.
For delays, airlines are not required to compensate passengers, but many airlines offer some kind of vouchers for meals or hotels during the delay. The DOT started a dashboard This shows what every major airline is offering during this holiday.
