Passengers' Rights in Case of Flight Delays or Cancellations

Passengers' Rights in Case of Flight Delays or Cancellations

Experts in the tourism sector have stated that if a flight is delayed or canceled, passengers are entitled to a refund or compensation. They added that airline policies in this regard vary, but there are general rights guaranteed by law in many countries, where travelers can request financial compensation or alternative travel tickets. The amount of compensation depends on the length of the delay and the distance traveled. Passengers have the right to substitute the food provided on board with options that suit their preferences or specific dietary needs and to change their seat if necessary.

In this context, travel blogger Ammar Al-Homsani said in an interview with "Sky News Arabia":

- Reservations should be made about a month before travel to secure a good price.

- To choose the best price, it's advisable to visit booking sites to compare prices between airlines.

- Booking directly through the airline is preferable to avoid a middleman.

- It's better to choose and reserve a seat before the flight to ensure a comfortable journey.

- Each airline has its own rules and regulations that should be reviewed before traveling.

- Passengers should photograph their luggage at the airport, as this will facilitate the search process in case of loss or damage.
