A cancelled flight doesn't just mean a change of plans — it means lost time, extra costs, and a lot of stress. What many passengers don't know is that, in such situations, European law gives you protection and the right to compensation, if the cancellation is the airline's fault.
Under EC Regulation 261/2004, you can request compensation for a cancelled flight when you weren't informed in time or weren't offered a proper alternative. The process isn't always simple, but it can be handled without hassle when you have specialized support and don't have to deal directly with airlines or complicated procedures.
