My flight to Italy was cancelled, and Delta rebooked me for an alternative flight 2 days later. All of my lodging reservations, train tickets, and ferry tickets got impacted due to this cancellation and have to add more cost to my trip. How can I handle this? Will Delta compensate for this? Any suggestions to deal with this situation?

Also curious. My flight home from Italy was cancelled today. Rescheduled for Friday so two more days of accommodation etc.

😅 I'm planning to save all of my expenses for this madness and submit for itemized reimbursements.

I just read this on a FB post (photo below). Something similar also happened to me where I was rebooked two days later on a flight and my travel credit card (chase reserve) reimbursed up to $500 of expenses (trip delay).

Is the “crazy rate” for the room under $500?

No. This is what trip insurance is for. Delta will provide some compensation if the reason is their fault but not for all your additional expenses specifically, especially since this is not mid trip.

Also you don’t have to accept the first flight option delta offers — it’s just a suggestion. If you see an earlier flight you like better, ask to switch to that.

Delta actually just announced free flight changes through the holiday weekend due to expected operational delays

Damn this makes me nervous going to Italy later this year after seeing this and the Heathrow issues. How long do we think this shortage will continue?

Call Delta and see if they can move you to a different flight. Happened to me with AA and they were happy to do it with no fees because they’re the ones that moved me.
If they can’t move you, ask if they can reimburse you for additional charges they caused.

Check with the credit card company you paid for all the reservations with too. Some credit card companies offer reimbursements if flights are delayed.
Doesn’t hurt to ask.

They would typically know this as those cards aren’t free

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.
