U.S. Department Of Transportation Service Tracker For Flight Delay Compensation

The U.S. Department of Transportation offers a service tracker that outlines the services airlines should provide when delays and cancellations are their fault.

These services may include meal or cash vouchers if a “cancellation results in a passenger waiting for three hours or more for a new flight,” rebooking on the “same airline at no additional cost,” and “complimentary ground transportation to and from a hotel for any passenger affected by an overnight cancellation,” among other services (Source: U.S. Department of Transportation).

How To Read The U.S. Department Of Transportation Service Tracker

The U.S. Department of Transportation made reading the tracker easy! On the tracker, a green check mark indicates that the airline agrees to provide a specific service if a flight is delayed or canceled, while a red X means the airline is not responsible for that particular service.
