2021 summer air travel may experience disruptions and cancellations due to weather, not all of which entitle passengers to compensation.
Summer, considered "high season" for flight disruptions, primarily due to bad weather, is expected to continue the trend this year. Travelers may face delays or cancellations, but they might not always be entitled to reimbursement, especially if the cause is outside the airline's control. Airlines are required to offer certain guarantees in the event of cancellations or delays longer than three hours, but only for "controllable" delays and cancellations. Passengers flying internationally may have more rights to compensation, depending on international rules. Experts suggest minimizing risks by choosing airlines with good customer service, opting for nonstop flights, and purchasing travel insurance.
