I’m because of travel to Sharm – exactly what are my legal rights?
Package holidays
Those because of travel on a bundle break may be eligible for the full reimbursement – or a replacement getaway – if their travel is terminated. Abta, the vacation organization, suggested those because of travel within 48 hours to make contact with their particular travel company to talk about their particular options.
Independent travellers
Those going individually are entitled to a reimbursement from their particular flight, under EU laws, if their journey is terminated. EU laws make it clear that, whenever a flight with an EU airline - or from an EU airport - is terminated, an airline is likely to pay for the cost of a hotel and subsistence for those stranded because of this, until a replacement flight is offered. Should your flight help you to purchase your own food and accommodation, keep all receipts, and hold such prices to a reasonable minimal, prior to making a claim when you get back to Britain.
For non-EU air companies, the Civil Aviation Authority says: “Some might provide refreshments and accommodation for passengers as they await their delayed flight. Some airlines will not. If they don't, you can look at to claim for reimbursement of the expenses because of the delay. You have the straight to claim with this in Montreal Convention. Know that you may battle to be reimbursed for everything besides meals or over night resort accommodation, therefore invest wisely. Hold receipts.”
