Winter weather can disrupt. Here’s what to do if your flight is canceled
Associated Press▶Follow the AP’s live coverage for the latest forecasts, updates and cancellations across the U.S. Winter weather often causes flight delays and cancellations. Here’s what to know about your rights, and what to know when cancellations start piling up: Keep an eye on weather forecasts When airlines expect bad weather to create problems for flights, they often give travelers a chance to postpone their trips by a few days without having to pay a fee. “That means you have to cancel your entire reservation, but that could be an easy option for some travelers — especially if you wind up booking a flight on another carrier.” You are also entitled to a refund of any bag fees, seat upgrades or other extras that you didn’t get to use. U.S. airlines are not required to pay cash compensation and cover lodging and meals for passengers who are stranded, even if a flight cancellation is the airline’s fault — such as the lack of a crew, a mechanical problem that grounds the plane, or a computer outage that brings the airline to a halt.
