All airlines make every effort to give their customers the finest service possible. However, there are a variety of reasons why flights can be delayed. Fortunately, EC261 offers protection to all impacted travelers. If there is a cancellation, a delay of more than five hours, or both, Delta will rebook you on the alternate flight, giving you a variety of time slots to select from. You can request a cash refund if none of the solutions are ideal for your requirements. You may be entitled to Delta Delayed Flight Compensation if your Delta flight is canceled.
