It’s been a summer of disruption for many holiday makers – with large numbers of flights having been either cancelled or delayed.
If you’ve been caught up in the chaos then you’re probably wondering what your rights are in regards to compensation. Where delays are concerned, your flight needs to have arrived at its destination more than three hours later than scheduled for you to be entitled to compensation.You could also be due additional compensation if the cancellation occurred within two weeks of your departure date and the alternative flight was earlier or later than the original.
If you are significantly delayed at an airport then your airline is required to look after you by providing or reimbursing you for food, drinks and hotel stays.
