Everything you need to know about flight delays, cancellation and compensation - AOL

A guide published by AOL lays out the UK/EU framework for compensation when flights are delayed or cancelled, referencing the Air Passenger Rights and Air Travel Organisers' Licensing (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019. It explains that airlines may owe compensation when delays or cancellations stem from circumstances the carrier could reasonably have foreseen or anticipated, while certain disruptions may fall outside airline responsibility. The article notes that delays caused by passengers not getting through passport checks abroad on time are generally not considered the airline’s fault, though it says there is debate and no definitive answer yet. It also discusses connected-flight rules, court interpretations on coverage when one itinerary is booked as a single trip, and that compensation is not always automatic, requiring passengers to apply.
