Last April, the U.S. Department of Transportation issued a rule that requires airlines to automatically provide passengers with cash refunds when they have experienced significant flight disruptions. The rule went into effect in October. Airlines still will be allowed to offer another flight or a travel credit instead of a refund, but consumers can reject the offer.

Flights may be delayed or canceled due to severe weather, such as the storms that spawned tornadoes, dust storms and wildfires starting on March 14.
