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 Loganair 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.
You are not required to accept an alternate flight from Loganair
In case of a disruption, the airline must offer you an alternative flight free of charge. The airline should provide you with the first possible flight, but if all the next flights are fully booked, you might receive an alternative option that may not make sense for your travel plans.
You have the right to decline the proposed flight. The airline must then refund you the ticket price. If the airline does not offer you an alternative or if you find a better option yourself, the airline must reimburse you for the price difference between the two tickets.
Advice: It’s recommended that you wait for an official update from Loganair 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 Loganair 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.
Did the Loganair strike disrupt your travel plans? You could be owed compensation
When the airline’s own staff, such as pilots, cabin crew, or ground staff, engage in a strike, Loganair can be held liable. Under Regulation 261/2004, this is not considered a force majeure event, and you are entitled to compensation if you arrive more than 3 hours late or 1 hour early.
The amount of compensation you receive is determined by the distance of your journey and whether your flight was canceled less than 2 weeks before your departure.
The amount of compensation is not dependent on your ticket price. It is possible that the compensation you receive is higher than the cost of your ticket. The amount of compensation is determined based on the distance of the journey.
