Delta will pay customers up to $3,800 for any baggage delay-related purchases.

Erika was then played by a Delta employee. He replied, “Ugh, fine. Make sure to save receipts of the $1,000 that you have spent and send them in for reimbursement.” I don’t know who taught me this.
“Erika did it, she is a lawyer, and she reads all the fine print for me so that I don’t have too,” she said.
Delta’s carriage contract states, “Delta cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage to baggage or delayed delivery thereof unless notice of a complaint is filed with a Delta office no later than 24 hours following the alleged event and an action not taken within one calendar year.
Delta will pay you any expenses incurred due to the problem if you notify them within 24 hours.

In a third TikTok, which has 36 million views, Erika revealed that if an airline overbooks a flight and you are forced to take a different one, you can get thousands of dollars for their mistake — something called ‘involuntary denied boarding.’
‘Occasionally, airlines may “bump” passengers and have them give up their seats. Bumping, also known as “denied boarding,” happens when there are more passengers scheduled to fly on an airplane than available seats,’ the Department of Transportation wrote on their website.

According to the Department of Transportation, airlines could bump passengers or make them leave their seats in order to accommodate more people than there are seats available.
The 200-percent reimbursement is available if the flight you were booked on was within one to two hours. If it takes more than two hours to get there, 400% of the one-way fee will be reimbursed.
