Watch out for people who argue against something whenever they can find something--anything-- wrong with it, without properly weighing all the pluses and minuses. Such people tend to be poor decision makers.

New: Airlines in the US are now *required* to give you a REFUND for a canceled or significantly delayed flight, automatically.
The DOT's "automatic refund provision" went into effect today. Good news for travelers with a month until the holiday rush begins.
