MT Week - So what happens if your flight gets cancelled?

Knowing your rights when there’s disruption to air travel could come in handy - as it did for me when I managed to get £520 from British Airways in flight delay compensation.

As it happens, there is also legislation around duty of care and compensation when a flight has been cancelled.

However, it’s complicated by the fact that the airline’s obligations will vary depending on when and why a flight is cancelled.

I actually had three flights cancelled in the last year under slightly different circumstances, which I’m going to use to explain how it all works.
