Airlines have contracts of carriage that outline the terms and conditions for air travel, including compensation that may be offered to passengers in certain circumstances. Here are some types of compensation that you may be entitled to through an airline’s contract of carriage:
- Refunds: If your flight is cancelled or significantly delayed, you may be entitled to a full or partial refund of your ticket price. This is typically outlined in the airline’s contract of carriage.
- Compensation for denied boarding: If you are denied boarding due to overbooking or other reasons, you may be entitled to compensation, such as a voucher for future travel or a cash payment. The amount of compensation will depend on the length of the delay and the distance of the flight.
- Compensation for lost or damaged luggage: If your luggage is lost or damaged during your flight, you may be entitled to compensation for the value of the lost or damaged items. The amount of compensation will depend on the value of the items and the airline’s contract of carriage.
- Meals and accommodation: If your flight is significantly delayed or cancelled, you may be entitled to meals and accommodation while you wait. This will depend on the length of the delay and the distance of the flight.
- Compensation for injury or death: If you or a loved one is injured or killed during a flight, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
It’s important to note that these types of compensation may vary from airline to airline and may be subject to certain limitations and exclusions. Be sure to carefully read and understand the terms of your airline’s contract of carriage to know what compensation you may be entitled to.
