Flight cancellations in the US have reduced last week after severe storms, but the rush for spring break travels could cause further disruptions. Data analysis from FlightAware shows that over 1,500 flights were cancelled between March 19 to March 26, with 520 of these cancellations occurring at the top 10 airports. San Francisco International Airport and Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas had the highest cancellation rates. Delta experienced the most cancellations last week with 303 flights cancelled, followed by SkyWest with 208 flights cancelled. Passengers who are considering purchasing travel insurance should select policies that offer protection against flight cancellations and delays. In the event of cancellations, trip cancellation insurance can reimburse non-refundable trip costs due to specified reasons such as mechanical failures, weather and airport security issues. Travel delay insurance can cover the costs of lodging, meals, and transportation during delays. Some travel credit cards offer travel protection benefits, although they are not as comprehensive as travel insurance policies. Passengers are advised to advocate for themselves during flight cancellations and familiarize themselves with their rights as passengers. Those flying within the EU are entitled to cash compensation if their flight is cancelled or significantly delayed due to reasons within the airline’s control. Credit card holders should also check their benefits guide to see if they have coverage for lost or delayed luggage. The coverage may cover essential purchase costs such as toiletries and clothes until the bag is returned.
