Check your insurance. Make sure you have a buffer in case your flight home is cancelled. And if you are traveling on multiple flights, book a combined ticket, according to the Swedish Consumer Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are some tips if you are going to fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Airlines have already started canceling flights in the wake of the fuel crisis. And even if the war in the Middle East ends relatively soon, analysts see the aftermath as long-lasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is how Henric Jonsson, legal advisor at the Swedish Consumer Agency, answers what applies when the flight does not depart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An airline cancels a flight and reports fuel shortages. What happens then?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 Regardless of why your flight is cancelled, you always have the right as a traveler to be given a choice from the airline. You should be given the choice between rebooking to another flight so that you arrive as quickly as possible under the same transport conditions. Or you should be able to choose a refund of the flight ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 If you have a cancelled flight less than 14 days before you are due to travel, in some cases you may be entitled to compensation, he continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So you can get both the money back for the ticket and additional compensation for the inconvenience, so to speak?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 Exactly, but there are exceptions to the compensation, and that is for extraordinary events that are beyond the airline's control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether fuel shortages are considered such an event may need to be examined in court or by a regulatory authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What applies when an offer to rebook is made?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 It depends a bit on where you are. But it may involve compensation for transport home from the airport and back to the airport the next day. But if you are traveling and this applies to the return trip, then you may be entitled to food and drink during the trip. And you may be entitled to accommodation in a hotel, says Henric Jonsson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another option that could arise in these times, you have two flights booked to get to one place. But one of them gets canceled. What happens then?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 If it is a cohesive ticket, that is, it is included in the same booking, then you may be entitled to rebooking or a refund so that you reach your final destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But what if there are two separate bookings?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 Then you may not be entitled to a refund for the second flight if it goes normally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What else should you consider?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 Check your insurance. And travel with a buffer so that you can cope if you get stuck in one place before you can receive or claim compensation afterwards, says Henric Jonsson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Source: Expressen-TT.SE<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kolla upp f\u00f6rs\u00e4kringarna.
