What to Do if Your Flight Is Canceled💟
Flight Canceled or Delayed? Here's What to Do.
Follow these steps to claim compensation in the event your flight has been canceled or delayed.
Get on the airline's app – or make an international call.
First, pull up the airline's app on your phone. Most airline apps allow you to easily rebook your flight for free.

Unfortunately, getting a refund is often a lengthy and frustrating process, and as such, the DOT is actively working to improve this with protections for flyers –
