I've carried a copy of DL's Rule 240 for at least 2 years. Had to use it twice, and boy were they surprised when I pulled it out. I'm not sure it didn't get me a line or two in my record on DL's computer, but it sure was effective...

Thanks for the information.

I find it interesting that AA and UA consider work stoppages and strikes to fall under the same catagory, Force Majure Events, the same as act's of God.

The next best thing to writing the rules is knowing them.

I just referred a newcomer to this topic...

brentski, I sure don't see anything about Rule 240 when I click on your link. Maybe you could update it?

doc, your first two links are similarly outdated. The relevant link in your third posted link here is from JerryFF in that topic, and to save having to go to 2 more places, I'm gonna post it here:
http://www.mytravelrights.com

cblaisd's link still works.

Hope this helps keep things current.

When you click on the link; http://extratv.warnerbros.com/

go to news archives for the date,5/09 and you'll find the link to rule 240 as well as links as it applies to each airline.You can print those out to have in your travels.

GG,
When you access the XtraTV link, just do a search (top right) for "rule 240". You will be taken to a page where you can read each airlines version of the rule.
Can't seem to get the MyTravelRights link to work, though.
