Rescheduled Flights
| Published on 7 February 2006 - 12:53pm. |
An airline may reschedule a flight at any time. It is sensible to confirm all flight times several days before departure in case of any changes.
If the difference in time is significant then the flight may be considered cancelled and you may be entitled to compensation.
Rescheduled More Than 14 Days in Advance
You will not be entitled to compensation.
If the flight has been rescheduled for a different date then you consider it is cancelled, and your normal rights to a refund or re-routing will apply.
Rescheduled Between 7 and 14 Days in Advance
If the flight is now scheduled to leave more than 2 hours earlier, or arrive more than 4 hours later than originally planned, then you are entitled to compensation.
In this case the flight is considered cancelled under the European regulations and you are entitled to care and compensation as for cancelled flights.
