The right to compensation does not apply when notification of the cancellation has been given well in advance or cancellation is due to extraordinary circumstances. The amount of compensation is determined according to the distance of the flight and the delay caused by re-routing. The airline may reimburse the cost of the flight and pay the compensation in cash, by bank transfer, by cheque or, with the signed agreement of the passenger, in travel vouchers or other services.
The right to standard compensation does not apply, 1. If the passenger is informed of the cancellation sufficiently early. If cancellation is caused by extraordinary circumstances that could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken.
Extraordinary circumstances include e. Based on the related European Court of Justice ruling, a technical problem is rarely regarded as a valid reason for not paying compensation. Even unexpected technical problems caused by prematurely failing components cannot be considered as exceptional. In order to refuse to pay standard compensation to a passenger, an airline should be able to prove that the event did not inherent in the normal exercise of the activities of the air carrier and was beyond the actual control of that carrier.

The bird strike and the consequent damage caused by it is considered as an exceptional circumstance. If you suffer damages as a result of a delay, you can claim compensation.

Barque Banned Tamil. They could be interchangeable in some cases but we need context and a full sentence. Barque said:. Click to expand The problem is that a return flight can mean both an outward and inward flight together, or just, literally, a return flight, depending on context. Almejandro24 said:. I just realised "return" could fit in your second example in a specific context. There's a helicopter in a few minutes and the flight will take just five minutes.
And there's a return flight in an hour. That is 4 sentences, not 1. It would require 4 different answers. Since "outbound" and "inbound" have opposite meanings, these cannot be the same sentence.

Airlines are continually updating their schedules due to the ongoing pandemic. In some cases, these changes or cancellations happen a few weeks before your scheduled departure, though some airlines are only canceling flights at the last minute within 48 hours of departure. TPG senior editor Nick Ewen has had to cancel a handful of trips due to the pandemic, and one experience from August is a clear-cut, real-world example of why it pays to wait. As he described it:.
In late spring, when we had hope of a return to normalcy in the travel world, my wife, daughter and I had planned a long-weekend trip to Connecticut in late September. The return flight was booked using existing JetBlue vouchers, but the outbound was a brand-new ticket on a nonstop Southwest flight. In early August, I happened to log in to my Southwest account to check on the trip, and I was greeted with this:.
Our nonstop flight had been adjusted to a connecting flight with a nearly five-hour layover and a much-later arrival time. I was confident that such a schedule change would qualify me for a refund, and sure enough, a quick phone call resulted in my money back. In the pre-coronavirus era, airline flight schedules would typically be solidified a couple of months before departure. Barring a mechanical issue, weather delay or other unforeseen circumstances, chances were quite good that a flight would proceed according to schedule.
Not so anymore.
