Flight passengers are entitled to compensation for flight disruptions, unless the delay is due to 'extraordinary circumstances' beyond the airline's control, including severe weather, acts of terrorism, security threats, or other unpredictable events.
Airlines may refuse compensation due to these circumstances, even if better contingency planning could have prevented the delay. If your claim for flight delay compensation has been denied, we may still be able to assist.
