Airlines are to be required to provide passengers with "prompt" automatic refunds when their flights are delayed or canceled under a new rule from the Department of Transportation, announced on Wednesday.

 

The regulations, which are being rolled out over the next six to 12 months, also entitle passengers to automatic refunds for delays to checked bags and for airlines' failure to provide paid-for extra services.

 

Under the DOT regulations, passengers can get a refund if their flight is canceled or significantly changed and they don't accept alternative transportation or travel credits offered. This includes domestic flights delayed by more than three hours and international flights delayed by more than six hours.

Excellent, let's hope this doesn't give airlines an excuse to not help with searching for alternative flights

don't understand why this isn't a thing across the board. Services are dependent on time/date unlike products. if you pay for a service to be performed at a certain time/date and you don't get it on the requested time/date, you didn't get the service. it's stealing. 

 

do it for rescheduled concerts next.

This sounds like a good idea in theory, but I can totally see them using this as a reason to raise ticket prices by 300+%.  :skull:
