Know your rights

These are your air passenger rights

When your flight's disrupted, you have rights. Most passenger protection laws cover the following:

Rerouting or refund

If your flight is canceled, your airline must provide an alternative. Some laws say you can choose a full refund instead.

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 check-in and boarding times.

Get the airline to provide written confirmation of the cancellation and reasons behind it.

Request an alternate flight to your destination - or a refund.

Make a note of the arrival time at your destination.

Ask the airline to pay for your meals and refreshments.

Don't sign anything or accept any offers that may waive your rights.
