Your Rights as an
air-passenger.

The only good thing that comes with a flight delay or cancellation is that you may be eligible for compensation. This has been made possible by the European Passenger Rights Regulation. The amount payable isn’t dependent or reliant on the ticket price but the flight distance. What this means is that you may end up getting more than the ticket price as compensation. It must be noted however that compensation can only be paid to passengers whose flight has been delayed for at least 3 hours or passengers whose flight is cancelled without prior notification of at least 14 days before scheduled flight date. Airlines are usually held responsible for all but exceptional cases of a flight delay or cancellation. Such cases include bird strikes or storms.
