Care, Refunds and Rerouting

Use the remedy map before reducing the disruption to a compensation figure.

Care

Meals, refreshments, communication, accommodation and transport may become relevant as the wait reaches distance-based thresholds.

Refund

A cancellation or a sufficiently long delay can create a choice to abandon unused travel and request reimbursement.

Rerouting

Alternative travel can be requested at the earliest opportunity or, in some circumstances, later under comparable conditions.

Compensation

Fixed compensation is assessed separately from care and travel-choice remedies.

Keep the remedies separate

State exactly what the airline failed to provide. Attach receipts to an expense request, booking evidence to a reimbursement request and final-arrival information to a compensation request.

Next rights step

Check the rights that match the complete route

Use the complete itinerary and keep care, refund, rerouting and compensation questions separate.
