💰

Full Refund

If your flight is cancelled by the airline, you are entitled to a full refund of your ticket price — regardless of the reason.

🔄

Free Rebooking

Airlines must offer you an alternative flight at no extra cost. You can choose a later date that suits you.

🏨

Hotel & Meals

If you are stranded due to a cancellation, the airline must provide accommodation, meals and transport.

📋

Compensation

Under EU261 regulation, passengers on flights to/from Europe may claim €250–€600 compensation per person.

2
Go to the airline desk — ask for written confirmation of the cancellation and the reason.
3
