Air travelers are currently entitled to a refund if their flights are canceled or"significantly" changed or delayed and they choose not to travel. But the agency had not defined what constitutes a significant change.
The Transportation Department is now proposing to define that as a departure or arrival time that's off by at least three hours for domestic flights, or at least six hours for international flights. Travelers would also be entitled to a refund if the routing changes or if a connection is added, as well as if a change in aircraft causes a"significant downgrade" in amenities or other features.
