Food and essential care
Providing food and drinks is a basic right under many regulations. Typically after a delay of a few hours.

Accommodation
Some passenger rights say the airline must provide accommodation when your journey is delayed overnight.

Compensation
Good passenger rights ensure passengers get fairly compensated for delays and cancellations. Try our compensation check and find out how much money we can get you.

This advice is provided to help you if your flight is delayed or canceled. However, the exact care and compensation you are entitled to will depend on your specific circumstances and flight.
Always follow the directions of your airline, particularly with regard to times you must present yourself for check-in and boarding.
