Imagine this itinerary: us international arrival six hours late after travel. It's a hypothetical example, not a real traveler story or verified payment.

What the example teaches
A traveler who took the changed flight is in a different refund situation from one who declined it.
These assumptions don't produce a payment figure.
Try it with your own facts
Swap each assumption for what happened on your flight: the ticket, airline, notice, and actual arrival. Then check the official rule and use the airline's claim channel. This isn't a real traveler review.

This example is hypothetical. It doesn't show what an airline paid a real traveler.
