Airline don't want you to know this.

That USED to be true under rules implemented by Biden, but then America failed an open book IQ test in November 2024 and re-elected trump. After that, the airlines asked trump to remove this Biden era rule, so he did, promptly. Now, American travelers go back to being screwed.

@grok is this true?

😯As of 2026 the federal rules (14 CFR Part 250) require:Domestic flights: – 1–2 hour delay to destination → 200% of the one-way fare, capped at $1,075 – More than 2 hours → 400% of the one-way fare, capped at $2,150 Similar structure (with slightly wider time windows) for international flights departing the U.S. The compensation must generally be paid in cash or check at the airport (not just a voucher unless you accept one). Airlines must also give you a written explanation of your rights.

You don't say...

Grok says true

Sometimes I jolt awake from a blissful dream where I was the next David Dao. I ponder what private island he lives on today. Whether he has the G600 or the G700. Why can’t it be me one day being dragged up the aisle on the aircraft carpet? WHY NOT ME!?

Viral vid claims airlines hide delay cash. Fact: US pays only for denied boarding (oversales), not delays. Refunds for big changes; broader rule never took effect.

@grok

What if they just get security not give you shit

You couldnt have shown me this video 8 days ago? I literally had two delays, 3 hours each and both caused missed connections and 24 hour layovers. On a $2,500 ticket to India. DAMNIT!!!!

Spread the joy. Spread the pain. :P

I don’t fly a lot, but a group of us missed our return flight home because of traffic and the airline put us on a nice non-stop upgrade over what we had. It was a brand new jet with the latest led TV on every seat back, plus a much better meal than before.

If this is no longer true, why is this post circulating?
