Suppose I am flying BOS-LGA-EWR-SFO with a 5 hour layover between LGA and EWR-SFO. Suppose BOS-LGA was 3 hours late (because of Weather or ATC or Mechanical Failure) and I don't make it to EWR on time. Would the airline rebook me (for free)?

Will airlines rebook you on another airline?
The good news is that most airlines will rebook you for free on their next flight to your destination as long as the flight has available seats. If there are none available, get ready to put on your most courteous voice. The DOT suggests asking to have your ticket transferred to another airline.Can an airline change my departure airport?
Can airlines really do this? Yes. They have the power to switch your arrival, layover, and departure airports for a variety of reasons. If it happens to you (and if you travel enough, it likely will), don't get flustered and make a bad move\u2014like panic-booking a last-minute flight on another airline for top dollar.Is it legal for airlines to change your flight?
When you book a flight, you agree on its schedule. However, all airlines reserve themselves the right to change the time (and sometimes even the date) of the flight, as per their terms and conditions. Specifically, airlines do not guarantee flight times and stress that those are not part of the contract of carriage.What happens if my flight schedule changes?
If you notice that your trip has been hit with a major schedule change, research the individual airline's policy to see if it counts as \u201csignificant\u201d enough for a refund. Then, you can call to cancel the itinerary or do so online (with some airlines).Sources: Stack Exchange - This article follows the attribution requirements of Stack Exchange and is licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0.
