Amenities/Services for Delayed Customers
When a ticketed customer holds a confirmed reservation on a flight, US Airways may assume limited expenses incurred as a result of a flight cancellation or schedule irregularity resulting in a delay exceeding four hours, as outlined below. US Airways may also provide special amenities and services
which, in US Airways’ judgment, are required by certain customers such as unaccompanied children, customers requiring special assistance, and customers with medical conditions, in order to maintain the safety, health and welfare of such customers. Amenities will not be made available to a customer on any US Airways flight which is delayed or canceled in the metropolitan area where the customer resides or at the customer’s destination...
According to this, if I am at my destination and my flight is canceled (due to circumstances within the airline's control) then I am not entitled to any compensation? This hardly seems right to me - I would be on the hook for a extra night of lodging, meals, etc because of something the airline did? Is this the way the contract is enforced, or am I simply reading it incorrectly?
This is correct. You are only eligible at your connection point and it cannot be weather or ATC.
