SUMMARY: On this morning’s Money Moment, Gregory Ricks and Associates discuss new regulations benefiting travelers. Airlines are now legally required to automatically refund passengers for canceled or significantly delayed flights without the need for passengers to request it. According to the Department of Transportation, refunds must be processed within 7 days for credit card payments and 20 days for other forms. Significant delays qualify as three hours domestically and six internationally. Additionally, if luggage is lost and not delivered within 12 hours, passengers will also receive refunds for bag fees. This change aims to enhance transparency and protect against hidden fees.

It’s a day many travelers welcome. The days of getting your flight canceled or delayed, causing you to shell out more money to get to your destination, are over.
