Just came back from a Mexican cooking class!
If you see me looking a bit heavier in my next video, it's because all I've been doing here in Mexico City is eating.
If you're a foodie, this city is definitely for you. The flavors, the spices, the street food – it's all incredible.
Remember that article I wrote a while back about how you might be owed money if your flight was delayed? Link
Well, forget it.
The Trump administration just killed that rule before it ever took
effect.
Here's the deal: The Department of Transportation decided not to move forward with a policy that would have required airlines to pay passengers $200–$300 if a domestic flight was delayed three hours or more due to airline issues like maintenance or crew staffing. This would have brought the U.S. closer to protections that European travelers already enjoy.
Airlines are thrilled with the decision. They argue it will help keep ticket prices lower. Personally, I'm not buying it — without consequences, there's less pressure to run on time.
For travelers like us, the bottom line is simple: if your flight is delayed or canceled, you won't automatically get
compensation.
The only rule still standing is that airlines must refund you if you choose not to travel after a cancellation or major delay. That's it.
Regardless of politics, this feels like a loss for travelers. But that doesn't mean we stop exploring — it just means we need to pack a little
more patience along with our carry-ons.
Keep traveling,
Andrew
