My flight is canceled - can I sue them for a refund? Give me a detailed answer according to the law.
Unfortunately, the answer is probably not. In the United States, airlines are not required by law to financially compensate you for a canceled flight, and even theories like breach of contract fall flat given the “small print” provisions of most airlines' ticketing policies. But, most airlines have policies in place to get you to your destination as quickly as possible and keep you comfortable while you wait.
