Rule 135 then goes on to add, “Delta is not liable when it cancels the reservation of any passenger in accordance with this rule, but:
“1) If such Delta Airlines Reservations was canceled pursuant to paragraph A) of this rule, Delta will take such action as is provided in Rules 35 and 240 (Flight Delays/Cancellations);
“2) If such reservation was canceled pursuant to other paragraphs of this rule, Delta will refund in accordance with Rule 270 (Voluntary Refunds).”
As far as I can tell, Rule 270 makes no provision for a later arrival, including a missed flight due to delays at check-in or security screening. That’s why passengers are advised to get to airports well ahead of the scheduled boarding time. You can read the whole document yourself at http://www.delta.com/content/dam/delta-www/pdfs/legal/contract_of_carriage_dom.pdf to see if you can find anything specific to your situation that is (or isn’t) addressed.
