Airline's Measly Compensation Leaves Passengers Disappointed

After experiencing multiple flight cancellations and delays with American Airlines, a woman was left to spend $600 on a new flight and hotel accommodations. When she complained to the airline, they offered her a trip credit of only $25. Airlines are generally not obligated to compensate passengers for delays or cancellations due to weather or air traffic control issues. However, passengers can seek reimbursement through travel insurance or credit card trip delay coverage. It is important to choose a credit card that offers such coverage, as some issuers have recently removed it from their American Airlines co-brand cards.
