A co-worker passed along some valuable information that might come in handy if you find yourself dealing with a canceled or delayed airlight flight. Rule 240 is a policy that states what airlines will do for the customer in the event of a canceled, delayed flight, or missed connection. The article mentioned here has links to each airline's Rule 240, which you should print out and carry with you when you travel. You may be entitled to "free meal vouchers, hotel accommodations, phone calls, and other amenities." (Source: MY Travel Rights.com)
