With Thanksgiving less than a week away, flight cancellations were low heading into the start of the holiday travel season.

Across the U.S., 264 flights had been scrapped as of around 12:30 p.m. ET on Nov. 21, with about 2,200 delayed, according to flight-tracking site FlightAware. Dallas Fort Worth International Airport has been hit the hardest with 9% of originating flights canceled so far.

The Federal Aviation Administration lifted an emergency order requiring airlines to reduce their schedules during the government shutdown earlier this month, allowing carriers to resume normal operations. Still, travelers could see disruptions as a record number of Americans are expected to travel domestically for the holiday (and as stormy weather rolls in). Here’s what to know if your flight is impacted.

What you’re owed if your flight is canceled, delayed

Travelers are owed refunds if an airline cancels a flight for any reason and they decide not to travel or accept other compensation, according to the Department of Transportation. The same goes for significant changes or delays.

Those include domestic flights that arrive at least three hours later than scheduled, or international flights that arrive at least six hours late. The DOT has a list of qualifying scenarios on its website, along with a dashboard outlining airlines’ commitments to customers in the case of controllable cancellations and delays. Consider reviewing those before heading to the airport.
