Cancellation due to force majeure?

Passengers’ rights to compensation following flight cancellation are conditioned by several determining elements:

– The first element concerns the cause of the cancellation. If it is due to exceptional circumstances, also called “force majeure” (such as bad weather, strikes external to the airline, etc.), air carriers are usually not obliged to compensate passengers, but they must offer a full refund or a replacement flight.

– The second element is linked to the warning given by the airline American Airlines. When passengers are notified of the cancellation more than 14 days before departure for long distances, and more than 7 days for shorter routes, the company is not obliged to pay compensation.

Navigate your compensation with ease

In the vast theater of air travel, where every flight is a scene played out on the canvas of the sky, a canceled flight becomes an unplanned act that interrupts the daily drama of departures and arrivals. This interruption, far from being a simple setback, opens the curtain on a secondary act full of complexity and anguish: the search for compensation.

This new scenario places the traveler not as a passive spectator but as the main actor in a play where airlines often play the role of the adversary, a monolithic entity equipped with dissuasive procedures and policies. The plot of this piece is woven around a labyrinth of administrative procedures, where the right to compensation seems buried under layers of regulations and small print.

It is in this context that the secondary protagonists, unexpected allies, emerge: the compensation claims experts. Like a Greek chorus commenting on the action, guiding the hero, they bring their expertise and their voice to direct the course of the story. Their role is to unravel the plot, to transform the solitary quest into a collective journey towards justice and reparation.

Their promise is singular: they only ask for their due at the happy outcome of the adventure, a pact which links their destiny to that of the traveler. This alliance transforms the dynamics of the play, introducing an element of suspense and strategy where the outcome is no longer a pre-written conclusion but an objective to be achieved together.
