Honolulu (KHON2) - New travel rights require airlines to give automatic refunds for significant delays, cancellations, or missing in-flight services. For seniors, understanding Medicare options and signing up on time is key to avoiding penalties, while delaying Social Security benefits can increase payouts.
These changes offer more protections and help travelers and retirees navigate their options more effectively. In the past, airlines had the autonomy to set their own policies for dealing with flight disruptions. Refunds for delays or cancellations were often inconsistent, depending on the airline’s internal rules.
Now, with the new federal guidelines in place, passengers have more concrete rights and clearer expectations.
