Rescheduled flight, what to do now?

Most of the time, you reach your destination without a hitch, but sometimes things don’t go as planned: your flight might be delayed, overbooked, or even downgraded. So, what should you do, and what rights do you have? Here’s a quick guide. 

My flight was delayed

Nobody likes unexpected delays… If you arrive more than 3 hours later than expected, you may qualify for assistance and compensation. Learn how it works.

My flight was overbooked

Checked in on time but denied boarding due to overbooking? If you’re bumped off involuntarily, you may be entitled to compensation. Read more to understand your rights.

My flight was downgraded

Did you get reassigned to a lower class than what you paid for? This often entitles you to compensation. Discover what to do next.

My flight was cancelled

In the worst-case scenario, your flight is cancelled. Read more about cancellations.
