Travel Q&A: What are my rights if my flight is cancelled or delayed?

It’s a concern, no two ways about it. Unions in France have been striking over pension age changes, with air traffic control downing tools and thousands of flights cancelled in recent months as a result. There has also been disruption at airports in the UK, and considerable unrest in Italy and in Spain.Under EU Regulation 261, airlines must offer you a refund or a rerouting on the next available flight or at a later time of your choosing.

If you ask to be put on the next available flight, then the airline must provide care and assistance until you can be accommodated.If you are overseas and trying to get home, it has to ensure you have meals and refreshments and cover the cost of hotel accommodation and transport to and from where you are staying.
