Know Your Rights for Flight Cancellations
I really thought I had already written a guide on Athens…
But, when a subscriber told me about their upcoming trip, I looked through my archives and couldn’t find a link to send them! Sometimes I find myself losing track of what I’ve written and what I have yet to write…
The Busy Traveler took some time this weekend to immerse himself in some culture:
I watched John Wick 4, starring Keanu Reeves, over the weekend and it’s easily the best movie of all time. It deserves several Oscars for…Best Director, Best Cinematography, and most definitely, Best Actor.
Scenario: Let’s say…your flight gets canceled, you have to re-plan your itinerary AND you're in a developing country where you don’t speak the language. This can be really frustrating! In this situation, you NEED to know your rights.
To make things easier, I've created the following table for your convenience:
If My Airline Cancels My Flight: Summary of Rights
The key to handling this is to be extra kind to the airline staff since they have the power to make your life easier or harder. Calmly explain your situation and how inconvenient it is for you.
If it applies, mention any extenuating circumstances like a cherished pet waiting for you at home with no food. 🐶
Pro tip💬: Show the airline staff a picture of your lonely pet and they may be even more motivated to help you.
In summary: Use the above table, ask the staff what they can do to help you, and with any luck, you'll be okay.
If you have experienced a flight cancellation, what was your experience like?
