IDB compensation
 
For a domestic US flight, is the "two times the one way fare" IDB compensation (or four times the one way fare, depending on the length of delay) based on the fare actually paid by the passenger, or is it two times the Y (full fare coach) one way fare?

It is based on what the passenger paid for their ticket. (bolding mine)

...the airline must pay you an amount equal to 200% of your one-way fare to your final destination that day

IDB compensation
 
But they would never tell you ( airlines) and indeed say ( in my experience) they don't owe anything for any delays / it is sad, the agents either not competent or dishonest .....my sad, but 99 times out of 100, that is my experience.

In the US, there is no government mandated compensation for flight delays. It is completely up to the airline if they want to provide delay compensation.

In the EU, delay compensation is required under certain circumstances.
