The Biden administration's new airline consumer protection rules went into effect Monday, requiring carriers to automatically issue cash refunds for things like delayed flights and to better disclose fees for baggage or canceling a reservation.

Under the new Transportation Department regulations, airlines must now provide automatic cash refunds within a few days for canceled flights and "significant" delays. A significant delay is now officially defined as lasting at least three hours for domestic flights and six hours for international ones, removing the previous system where airlines could set their own thresholds.
