Your Rights as a Flier Are About to Get Much Better--if You Take Action

I think many of us have felt "cheated" because of delayed or cancelled flights. Is there really any recourse now? Hmmmmm...guess we'll see.

Although in the past I have not purchased travel insurance, and thankfully never had to need it, I think with travel the way it is now, we'll have to factor that cost into our total travel costs.

Most delays and cancellations wouldn't fall under the new rules.

Don't think new rules help consumers, more like the other way
