The first ones that should receive assistance are children and disabled people.

When the flight has been rescheduled for another day

When the flight has been rescheduled for another day, for example the following day, the passenger has the right to receive an accommodation too. Not only the airline company has to refund the customer but it has to provide a good placement as well. Passengers who travel without paying the cost of the ticket or at a very low fare do not have to except this kind of assistance.

If the causes of the delay are not due to the airline company the passengers won’t be provided by the above assistance. One of these causes is the bad weather. But the airline company has to prove that it couldn’t have done anything to prevent the delay. Another cause is the strike.

Furthermore it is very important that the passengers keep all the details of the journey, the e-mail regarding the confirmation of the booking, the boarding pass and all the general expenses they have had. You can fill in our form here to ask for your refund.
