How Long Can a Flight Be Delayed?

Last updated on April 24, 2023

Flights can be delayed for varying lengths of time. Factors like weather, technical issues with the aircraft, and shortages of necessary personnel can delay flights from minutes to multiple hours or even days. Airlines are often required to provide meals and lodging for long delays. When a flight has been delayed for more than 24 hours, passengers may be entitled to receive a full refund for their ticket.
