这个应该还是合法的 Biden-Harris Administration Announces Final Rule Requiring Automatic Refunds of Airline Tickets and Ancillary Service Fees Wednesday, April 24, 2024 Rule makes it easy to get money back for cancelled or significantly changed flights, significantly delayed checked bags, and additional services not provided WASHINGTON – The Biden-Harris Administration today announced that the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has issued a final rule that requires airlines to promptly provide passengers with automatic cash refunds when owed. The new rule makes it easy for passengers to obtain refunds when airlines cancel or significantly change their flights, significantly delay their checked bags, or fail to provide the extra services they purchased. “Passengers deserve to get their money back when an airline owes them - without headaches or haggling,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. “Our new rule sets a new standard to require airlines to promptly provide cash refunds to their passengers.” The final rule creates certainty for consumers by defining the specific circumstances in which airlines must provide refunds. Prior to this rule, airlines were permitted to set their own standards for what kind of flight changes warranted a refund. As a result, refund policies differed from airline to airline, which made it difficult for passengers to know or assert their refund rights. DOT also received complaints of some airlines revising and applying less consumer-friendly refund policies during spikes in flight cancellations and changes
The U.S. Department of Transportation's new refund rule for air travelers mandates automatic refunds for significantly delayed or canceled flights. Domestic flights delayed by three hours or more and international flights delayed by six hours or more qualify for a full refund. Airlines must issue refunds within seven days for credit card purchases and 20 days for other forms of payment. The rule also requires refunds for checked bag fees if luggage is not delivered within a specified timeframe, as well as for non-functional or unavailable paid services like Wi-Fi. https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/airline-news/2024/10/28/new-refund-rules-for-delayed-and-canceled-flights/75837222007/
想开点，在登机口发现飞机机械故障，比在空中发现机械故障，好一万倍！
通常我遇到的情况是，机械故障，等修好了之后说机组工作人员超过了待机时间，已经返回，请等待下一组工作人员到位；还有一次，折腾了一圈后，天气问题了
