Why airlines must now rebook your cancelled flight free.

Why airlines must now rebook your cancelled flight free.

UK law dictates that airlines are obliged to assist passengers whose flights experience cancellation or delay, irrespective of the cause. Assistance encompasses supplying food, lodging if required, and arranging onward travel to your destination via another flight without additional charge. Passengers can also claim compensation of up to £520 if the airline is at fault and cancels with less than two weeks' notice.
