Right to care with delays longer than 2 hours

If you’re facing an unplanned strike, it can take you by surprise. If you’re at the airport and your FlexFlight flight is delayed for more than 2 hours, you have the right to food, drink, and even a hotel stay if needed. In some cases, the airline will provide vouchers for food and drink, but it’s important to keep receipts if they’re not provided.

Accepting an alternative flight from FlexFlight is not obligatory

The airline has to provide you with a free alternative flight. They are supposed to offer you the first available flight, but if all the upcoming flights are overbooked, you may receive an alternative option that makes your travel pointless. If you reject the proposed flight, the airline must refund the ticket price, and if they don’t provide an alternative, they need to reimburse the price difference if you book a better option yourself.

Advice: It’s recommended that you wait for an official update from FlexFlight before taking any action

Although you may want to secure a new flight as soon as possible, it’s important to avoid booking an alternative flight until you receive confirmation from FlexFlight that your flight has been cancelled, as there may be few other flights available from other airlines. If the strike is called off, you will lose your money.

Affected by the strike of FlexFlight? You are entitled to compensation

In the event of a strike by the airline’s own personnel, such as pilots, cabin crew, or ground staff, FlexFlight can be held accountable. According to Regulation 261/2004, this is not considered force majeure, and you have the right to compensation if your arrival is delayed by more than 3 hours or you arrive 1 hour earlier.

The compensation amount is based on the distance of your travel and whether the cancellation of your flight was communicated less than 2 weeks before your departure.
