Next time you are stuck at the Airport there's a number that could literally be your ticket out of there!
Airport chaos is nothing to laugh about. The excuses are endless; plane problems, weather, traffic, etc. Who can be patient? Especially after many undercover investigators have found tons of half-truths, clueless ticket agents, and misleading information.
Airport departure boards lie. But the numbers do not. So far this year, more than one in every four flights was delayed. "there's a flight that's supposedly coming in at 9:15. But the airline is claiming it's going to leave at 9:45. You know that is not going to happen."
Reports show that it takes a full hour to turn around most airplanes. That's when you use Rule 240.
What is Rule 240? It's airline code for a travel secert that could get you in the air while others are grounded. If your flight is cancelled or delayed for any reason other than weather, Rule 240 says airlines should put you on the next available flight on
any airline at no extra charge.
Remember that the Airlines will not volunteer this information. It is up to you to call them on it. But when you do, most carriers do not even have a copy of Rule 240 at the counter and many Airline Agents have not even heard of Rule 240. Regardless move forward for your rights.
So it is up to you to know your rights, if you do not standup for yourself, you'll be sitting at the Airport.
