travel delay
Journey time extension
A travel delay is any disruption that causes transportation to arrive later than scheduled—whether from weather, mechanical problems, air traffic, or other factors.
Insurance policies and credit cards often specify minimum durations before coverage kicks in: The policy covers travel delays of six hours or more.
Airlines may offer compensation for significant delays.
