Flight Delayed? Lost Luggage? Essential Rights Every Traveler Should Know

The first step in navigating travel hiccups is understanding your basic rights as an airline passenger. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the European Union have set regulations to protect passengers. These regulations cover issues like compensation for delays, cancellations, and overbooking. Familiarizing yourself with these rights is crucial, as airlines are obligated to inform passengers about their entitlements. Knowing these rights empowers travelers to demand what is due to them, ensuring they are not taken advantage of during stressful situations.
