Question 1

What rights do travelers have if a flight is cancelled?

Accepted Answer

The rights of travelers are clearly regulated in the EU Air Passenger Rights Regulation. Travelers have the right to choose between a replacement or rebooking or a refund of the ticket price. The airline is obliged to refund the ticket price to travelers within 7 days.

Question 2

Do travelers have to accept vouchers or rebooking as a refund?

Accepted Answer

No, travelers do not have to accept vouchers in the event of a flight cancellation. The choice between a voucher or rebooking or reimbursement of the ticket price remains with the passenger. In recent days, airlines have increasingly tried to enforce reimbursement in the form of vouchers. The EU Commission's new Air Passenger Rights Guidelines clearly state that for flights departing from the EU or where the operating airline has its headquarters in the EU, the customer must be given the choice between a refund of the ticket price, substitute transportation or a rebooking.

Question 7

How long does it take to get reimbursed for my trip?
