✈️ Useful this morning: Before your next trip, bookmark the U.S. Department of Transportation’s airline dashboard. It compares what major carriers promise when a cancellation or significant delay is within the airline’s control—including free rebooking, meal vouchers, hotel rooms, and ground transportation. Check your carrier’s column before accepting an answer at the airport; the promises vary by airline and are part of its customer-service plan.
