Navigating Summer Travel Woes: Flight Cancellations, Refunds, and Government Solutions.

Airlines are facing staff and tech issues, and weather disruptions this summer, which could lead to more flight delays and cancellations.

Additionally, Pres. Joe Biden's proposed regulations would require airlines to compensate passengers when flight times change drastically due to reasons within their control. While these are steps in the right direction, more regulation is needed to ensure that airlines provide better and more consistent customer service.
