Airline Passenger Rights - USA

https://www.transportation.gov/airconsumer/fly-rights
Passenger compensation is only required by law if you are bumped from a flight because it is oversold. For domestic itineraries airlines are not required to compensate passengers whose flights are delayed or canceled.
Each airline has its own policies about what it will do for delayed passengers waiting at the airport; there are no federal requirements when flights are delayed due to bad weather, air traffic delays, or mechanical issues.

Passport and Flying:

A valid Passport Book is required for all international air travel
A Passport Book with less than six months remaining until expiration may not be accepted by all countries (even though it technically has not expired); confirm entry requirements for your destination country several months in advance in case you are required to renew yours
While a valid Passport Book is not required for domestic air travel, it is an acceptable form of identification
