 I copied small portion of article  because Ive found we have to ASK  for  these  benifits more and more  over last several years   and I think it relevant in our world  where we're having so many  delayed  or cancelled flights  . The article gives more details on who does or doesnt and how to handle it  

 

One of these rules, number 240, specified that if an airline couldn't get you to your destination on time, it was required to put you on a competitor's flight if it would get you there faster than your original airline's next flight. Airlines were even required to put you in first class if that's all that was available.

 

They rarely advertised this perk, however, since airlines naturally didn't want to fork over scarce cash to fly customers on a rival carrier. But seasoned road warriors have always known they could approach the ticket counter and say the magic words "240 me" to be put on the next flight out.

 

Airlines formed after deregulation - such as JetBlue, Southwest, and Spirit - were never required to follow these rules. Even so, some of these newer airlines may attempt to put you on another airline if there's no other choice

Cool information!  I was not aware of anything like that.  It's definitely good to know!

"I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples.  For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.  Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth." -Psalm 57:9-11.
