Try your luck for compensation
In the event of sudden disruptions to flight plans, such as cancellations, it is crucial for travelers to familiarize themselves with their legal privileges. Generally speaking, they are entitled to a full refund of their ticket purchase. However, access to compensation is subject to certain conditions which may vary depending on specific details.
The ability to obtain compensation after a cancellation relies heavily on:
First of all, cancellation cases caused by force majeure, such as adverse climatic conditions (hurricanes, snowstorms), natural disasters (volcanic eruptions, earthquakes), global or local health emergencies (epidemics ), or even unforeseen social movements (general strikes, large-scale demonstrations), can exclude passengers from benefiting from compensation. These events, due to their sudden nature and external to the management of airlines, exempt these companies from their responsibility to pay compensation.
Furthermore, if the cancellation alert is communicated to travelers well in advance, in particular more than two weeks before the planned departure, the obligation to compensate does not rest with the airline. The latter can opt for various notification methods, such as public announcements on their online platforms or personalized emails, thus ensuring that customers have sufficient time to rearrange their itineraries in a suitable manner.
