Flight delayed for more than 2 hours, you have the right to be taken care of
A wildcat strike, also known as an unofficial strike, can be unexpected and leave you stranded. If your Syphax Airlines flight has been delayed by over 2 hours, you’re entitled to food, drink, and accommodation if necessary. The airline may provide vouchers for these, but if not, be sure to keep receipts to claim expenses from the airline later.
Accepting an alternative flight from Syphax Airlines 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.
Tip: Before doing anything, it’s best to wait for a final notice from Syphax Airlines
There may be few alternative flights available from other airlines. Of course, you want to secure another flight as soon as possible. However, we advise you not to book an alternative flight yourself before you have received final confirmation from Syphax Airlines that your flight has been cancelled. If the strike is called off, you will lose your money.
If you’ve been impacted by Syphax Airlines’s strike, you could be eligible for a refund
If the airline’s own employees, such as pilots, cabin crew, or ground staff, go on strike, Syphax Airlines may be held responsible. Under Regulation 261/2004, this is not considered a case of force majeure, and you are entitled to compensation if you arrive more than 3 hours late or 1 hour early.
The amount of compensation you receive depends on the distance you traveled and whether your flight was canceled less than 2 weeks before your scheduled 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.
