If someone wants to buy a new flight ticket instead of a refund, there is also that opportunity. Incidentally, last Thursday, Air India authorities refunded the full fare to 225 passengers due to a 30-hour delay in their flight from New Delhi to San Francisco. The airline followed the same path again on Sunday.
