I was supposed to get on a flight yesterday but an hour before boarding time they cancelled the flight. I was absolutely devastated because I had my husband drive me 2 hours to the airport and had to ask him to get me.

We've never had any last-minute cancellations thankfully but our flight in 2020 was cancelled because of COVID.

Never had it happen since I rarely fly, but I can see it sucking hard.

What's the compensation policy on flights that are cancelled just an hour before it's due to fly? I would hope it's quite big considering that's a lot of wasted time

Our first flight to Germany was canceled a few years ago. We got to the airport at like 4:30 AM because the original departure was 8 and this was post-9/11 so international flights require super early arrival. Originally, it was just delayed and then delayed again, and again. They finally canceled it around 7 PM. They were thankfully able to put us on a flight the next day but we ended up losing about a day and a half of our planned time in Germany, which sucked. Other than that, I've been pretty lucky overall with flights *knock on wood*

Depends on the area, company situation, can be rather good to rather poor.

Fortunately not. My closest call was when I was in Barcelona in October 2019... the day after I left, the main airport got overwhelmed by Catalan independence protesters, and around 200 flights were cancelled.
I'm grateful that I got out the previous day!

I have never had my flight canceled but I have been delayed for 8 hours which made me even preferred for the flight to have been canceled.
