Protect Yourself from Travel Disruptions with Delay Defense

Been burned too many times by travel cancelations or delays? Delay Defense is here to help.

The brand’s new travel membership program is designed to protect you from airline and airport issues, reducing stress as it rebooks and pays for new tickets to get your trip back on track faster. Think of it as an insurance policy for your trip, but with way more comprehensive coverage than your average travel insurance policy.

A Delay Defense membership will cover you in the event of delays and cancelations due to aviation infrastructure failures, unruly passengers, in-flight medical emergencies, mechanical failures and more. Additionally, you’ll enjoy access to 24/7 assistance, so you can get help rebooking your travel or getting overnight accommodations (again, at no cost), no matter the hour.

“Travelers today are completely in the dark when it comes to their rights and options when flights go wrong. When a flight to Milan was forced to return to New York after four hours in the air due to an unruly passenger, travelers were left with meal vouchers — nothing more — because it wasn’t technically the airline’s fault. We created a better way to protect passengers,” said Ross Thompson, founder and CEO, Delay Defense. “Earlier this year, an 18-year-old traveling from the U.S. to Brazil was stranded overnight after her flight was canceled. The airline refused her a hotel voucher due to her age. Stories like these are far too common. Delay Defense offers peace of mind and practical solutions when travelers need them most.”

You can purchase a Delay Defense membership for just a single trip or you can purchase an annual membership. Membership starts at $5 per trip.
