With very tight cost calculation, flight delays and cancellations is gradually on the increase. There are several reasons that can cause this. They are technical defects, bad weather or illness of a crew member.

What you can do while waiting.

An annoying waiting time usually follows a flight delay or cancellation announcement but you can use the waiting time productively by getting proof of the flight delay or cancellation in writing from the airline operatives while also ensuring that the reason(s) for the flight delay or cancellation is clearly stated. Also, you can take photos of the display panel where the cancellation or delay is shown. After you must have done this, you can decide to relax with a cup of coffee or visit any of the duty free shops in the airport.

Basic Claims

If your flight is cancelled without prior notice, then the airline must provide a substitute or replacement. But in a situation where there is a 2-hour waiting period, the airline must make snacks and drinks available to passengers. In addition, you are also entitled to 2 phone phone calls which becomes particularly invaluable when your phone battery is flat.
