Can I get a refund if the plane is delayed because of the weather?

Legal analysis: There is no legal provision for this, but the legal relationship between passengers and airlines is the air passenger transport contract. Flight delay is regarded as airline breach of contract. Delays caused by weather can be used as an exemption for airlines. If the delay is due to the weather and is a force majeure factor, then what you can do is to wait for the departure notice or the airline to assist in changing the ticket.

Legal basis: Article 29 of the Regulations on Normal Flight Management stipulates that after the flight departure is delayed or cancelled, the carrier or ground service agent shall provide accommodation services for passengers according to the following circumstances:

(1) If the departure of the flight is delayed or cancelled due to maintenance, flight deployment, crew and other reasons of the carrier, the carrier shall provide passengers with services such as meals or accommodation.

(2) If the departure of the flight at the place of origin is delayed or cancelled due to weather, emergencies, air traffic control, safety inspection and other non-carrier reasons, the carrier shall assist the passengers in arranging meals and accommodation at their own expense.

(3) If the domestic flight is delayed or cancelled at the stopover, the carrier shall provide the stopover passengers with meals or accommodation services for whatever reason.

(4) When domestic flights alternate, the carrier shall provide meals or accommodation services to alternate passengers for whatever reason.
