Contrary to the belief of some, airlines are not required to compensate
passengers for "damages" when flights are delayed or canceled.
Compensation is required by law only when you are "bumped" from a
flight that is oversold. Airlines almost always refuse to pay
passengers for financial losses resulting from a delayed flight. If the
purpose of your trip is to close a potentially lucrative business deal,
to give a speech or lecture, to attend a family function, or to be
present at any time-sensitive event, you might want to allow a little
extra time and take an earlier flight. In other words, airline delays
and cancellations are not unusual, and defensive planning is a good
idea when time is your most important consideration.

But you are entitled to full refund if fligght is cancelled. Unloke
cruise lines who can change itineraries at will and take passengers to
inferior destinations they did not pay for
