Here’s How To Handle A Last-Minute Flight Cancellation
Know Your Rights
If you cancel the flight, you might only be entitled to flight credit, depending on the terms of your ticket.

USDOT also states that you could be entitled to a refund if your flight is significantly delayed – though they do not specify what constitutes “significantly.”
