You could be entitled to up to £520 compensation if your flight is cancelled less than 14 days before departure and the airline is at fault. This doesn't apply to 'extraordinary circumstances' like bad weather or air traffic control strikes. Check the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) website for full details.
