Airlines Can Owe You up $1,550 if They Bump You From a Flight

“R: It leaves in 3 hours.

C: According to the Department of Transportation, since the next flight you can get me on results in over a two-hour delay, I’m entitled to 4x the cost of my one-way fare. I paid $250 for my one-way fare so that’ll be $1,000.”
