The U.S. government is launching an interactive website Sept. 2 that will help travelers who face flight cancellations or delays. “The tool is meant to help travelers find easy-to-read, comparative information on what airlines provide to travelers when there is a cancellation or delay, due to circumstances within airlines’ control, per a letter that Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg sent to the 10 largest U.S. airlines,” according to Afar. “Disruptions within airlines’ control could include overbooking flights, consolidating or canceling flights with low passenger numbers, staff and flight crew availability, scheduled maintenance and repairs, and flight prep activities, such as cleaning, baggage loading, and fueling.”
