Your rights as a passenger
Why filing a DOT complaint matters
When your flight is significantly delayed, the U.S. Department of Transportation gives you the right to file a formal complaint. Airlines are legally required to:
- Review every DOT complaint
- Provide a written response
- Address delay-related issues
- Document your situation for recordkeeping
The problem? Airlines make the process confusing and frustrating.
Dam Delay handles everything for you. You simply answer a few questions — we submit the official claim on your behalf.
