I recently got €600 in compensation for a delayed flight out of France and honestly had no idea this even existed until someone mentioned it in line at the airport. The process was surprisingly easy too.
It got me wondering if there’s anything similar in the US that forces airlines to compensate passengers for delays or missed connections when it’s the airline’s fault. I’ve seen people mention that Biden tried to push something like this, but I’m not sure if that’s true or if anything actually came of it.
Do US passengers have any real protections like EU261, or is it mostly airline goodwill?
