We read the tariff so you don't pay at the gate.
FlightsInUSA covers US domestic flying: fees, delays, refunds, and trusted traveler programs. Answer first, sources named, every dollar figure dated.
Methodology
Figures come from published tariffs and contracts of carriage, then from a real booking taken to checkout. Rechecked monthly and dated on the page.
How we make money
Affiliate commissions on booking tools, cards, and trusted-traveler referrals. No display ads, no paid placement. The cheapest true cost wins even when it pays us nothing.
Scope
US domestic only. We do not imply European-style compensation for US flights, and we say plainly what you are not owed.
Corrections
When a fee changes we update the table and log the date. Send us a receipt that contradicts us and we will check it.
FlightsInUSA is run by Tara Brennan, who spent fourteen years in airline customer service and gate operations across two major US carriers before she walked away. She knows exactly what an airline owes a passenger versus what it merely offers, because she was trained, carefully, on how to describe that difference in a way that protected the airline.
She started the site after a neighbor was told she was owed a travel credit when the DOT rule owed her a full cash refund. The site is the plain-language rule — dated, cited, and handed to the passenger for free.
