Recent years have brought us all too many reminders about the importance of knowing your air travel rights as a passenger. From winter weather to summer storms and last fall's government shutdown, it's clear that knowing what you should ask for when your flight is delayed or canceled is critical when you're preparing to fly.
A big part of that is knowing when an airline owes you a refund.
Under the DOT flight refund policy, you are entitled to your money back, no questions asked, if your flight is canceled and you ultimately choose not to travel. It doesn't matter whether the cancellation was the airline's fault or due to something beyond its control, like bad weather.
