Flight Delays and Compensation Rules | Leicester News

Flights across the pond are grounded by wild weather, causing chaos—but don’t panic: airlines must still cover food, drinks, and lodging if delays hit a certain threshold. Keep receipts for reasonable expenses, but avoid overspending. If delays exceed three hours due to airline error, you’re eligible for up to £520 in compensation. But bad weather? That’s usually off the hook. Stuck waiting over five hours? You can demand a full refund or even get flown back. If your flight gets canceled, choose cash back or a replacement ticket—and if the airline failed to notify you promptly and the new flight is late, you might still snag that £520. Weather cancellations? Still no cash. So if you think you’ve got a valid claim, speak up with the airline—then escalate if needed.
