Här är vad som gäller för USA
Each airline has its own policies about what it will do for delayed passengers waiting at the airport; there are no federal requirements.
If you are delayed, ask the airline staff if it will pay for meals or a phone call.
Some airlines, often those charging very low fares, do not provide any amenities to stranded passengers.
Others may not offer amenities if the delay is caused by bad weather or something else beyond the airline's control.
Contrary to popular belief, for domestic itineraries airlines are not required to compensate passengers whose flights are delayed or canceled.
As discussed in the chapter on overbooking, compensation is required by law on domestic trips only when you are "bumped" from a flight that is oversold.
On international itineraries, passengers may be able to recover reimbursement under Article 19 of the Montreal Convention
for expenses resulting from a delayed or canceled flight by filing a claim with the airline.
