Flight cancelled or delayed? Top tips for handling travel disruptions
BRITS with flights booked this summer could have their trips grounded, with airlines forced to cancel more than 100 journeys during the summer holidays.The no-fly zone will be in place on the afternoon and evening of Friday, July 26, right at the start of the summerThe DGAC has described the operation as the "creation of a temporary prohibited zone for the specific aviation security system, linked to the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games".
If you're flying to or from the UK, your airline must let you choose a refund or an alternative flight.So if you booked a return flight and the outbound leg is cancelled, you can get the full cost of the return ticket refunded. Disruptions caused by things like extreme weather, airport or air traffic control employee strikes or other ‘extraordinary circumstances’ are not eligible for compensation.
Policies vary so you should check the small print, but a delay of eight to 12 hours will normally mean you qualify for some money from your insurer.If your flight is cancelled entirely, you're unlikely to be covered by your insurance.Their spokesperson added: “Due to the closure of the Paris airspace on 26 July, we, like all airlines, have been forced to cancel/reschedule a number of flights operating to/from Beauvais airport that day.
