Looking at trips I have routinely taken:

PHL/SAV: $230 > $394
PHL/OGG: $750 > $861

So this is 10 years ago vs today? Or what? Because if it's 10 years of price change, the first is more than the rate of inflation, the second is less.

Those prices are 8 years apart.

Also worth noting that Preferred/Premium seating has gone up significantly in that timeframe, too, along with more seats being labeled as Preferred (for AA).

Wake me up when this turns out to have any relevant teeth whatsoever.

so while I think it’s good that a statute like this exists now, I agree with you only because if a customer still takes the original flight, even if it’s delayed 3+ hours, they likely won’t be eligible for any cash

so if I’m on a flight that gets delayed 6 hours but I can’t/dont want to rebook because the other flights are more expensive, I’m kind of **** out of luck


a rule like this needs to exist for bare minimum consumer protection but I’d be surprised if I ever actually received compensation for this

Because I felt like spending money today and the upgrades weren't awful I upgraded out flights both going to and coming back from Jamaica to First Class/Business Class. I think I have everything else taken care of. C5 forms are done, our passports are good, got transportation arranged to and from the resort etc. This kind of snuck up on me...only a couple weeks away.
