Creator's Key Takeaways

if you're flying in or into Europe, quite a bit. And if you're flying in the USA, almost nothing.

In the EU, if your flight is canceled or delayed due to a snowstorm, they are then not required to pay you those compensation amounts

In Europe, they are required to give you meals and refreshments, to reimburse you for two phone calls, and if you have to stay overnight...

In the USA, if there's a huge snowstorm that messes up your travel plans within the USA, you have no legal right to compensation.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Always have travel insurance, whether purchased externally or part of your credit card.
✓If stranded in a European airport, ask the airline employee for 'duty of care'.
✓Save all receipts for food, taxis, trains, etc., for potential compensation.
✓If you decide to cancel your plans, do not accept any voucher, as it might affect your refund eligibility.
