With as chaotic as air travel is right now, it's happening more and more and will likely continue throughout the summer. We've had flights canceled after being delayed for hours, all because of bad weather at both ends of our itinerary. If one does not have travel insurance that will cover such things (usually under Trip Interruption), you'll be on your own to pay the costs. I'm not sure why he would think that Breeze would pay the difference in costs to fly on DL since it was his choice to do so.Īs for other expenses, well if it was weather-related issues (as explained in #2) or other things the airline can not control, airlines in the US are not responsible for any kind of duty of care - hotel. The OP was given the option for rebooking with Breeze but instead chose the refund option and rebooked with DL. This is the type of situation where travel insurance may be helpful, to recoup losses from these types of delays that the airlines don't cover.

I have contacted Breeze on FB messenger, texting, email, and social media. Regarding weather, all other flights to NY that night were available for booking from the time of Breeze's cancellation all the way through travel into NY last evening. When I asked Breeze why there were offering these passengers and not me, they said it was a different situation as it was not weather related. Yesterday at the airport in Charleston, as I was waiting for my new Delta flight, Breeze was announcing $200 payments for the new flight they were cancelling. These costs included last minute one way airfare, rental car extension, added meal and ground transportation as I could not get back to the airport I left from.īreeze will not pick up any of these costs because they now say it was a weather related event. While this has never happened to me, I assumed Breeze would pay for my added costs for rebooking. Rebooking was not an option as I needed to get home for work. I had the option of rebooking on another day or getting a refund. Less then 48 hours before our return trip I was notified the flight was canceled. Last week I flew with my family from Islip to Charleston on Breeze Airways. ![]()
