Cancelled flight claims
Cancellation rights can include reimbursement, rerouting, care, and in some jurisdictions compensation. The notice period, reason, route, and replacement-flight timing matter.
This guide is a concise summary based on official sources. It is not legal advice, rules can change, and passengers should check the linked official sources.
Key checks
- Confirm when the airline notified you of the cancellation.
- Record replacement-flight departure and arrival times.
- Check whether the airline offered reimbursement, rerouting, or care.
Evidence to keep
- Cancellation notice, rebooking offer, refund offer, receipts, and any written reason from the airline.
- Proof that you accepted, rejected, or did not receive an alternative flight.
