Will they accommodate us if we are delayed?
Hi folks,
First off, apologies if this is a really silly question.
I live in Ireland and, in Europe at least, when you buy an air ticket from A to B but with a stop somewhere (e.g., DUB to SIN but transiting in AMS), and if you're late getting to AMS because of a delay on the DUB-AMS flight and therefore miss your AMS-SIN flight, the airline will accommodate you. I.e., they'll put you on the next available flight and give you meals / drinks / hotel accommodation (as appropriate) in the mean time.
Now, we're off to the US next month and our return to Ireland is LAX-JFK-SNN (all with Delta), but the transit in JFK is only 1hr 48mins. Now, that might be fine, but if the LAX-JFK is late, we might miss the flight to Shannon. If so, what will happen? Or are the procedures / rules in the US the very same as in Europe?
