Making a claim for flight delays

Flight delays can be a pain and difficult to predict. You can only make a claim for flight delays under certain circumstances:

• You must have already checked in for your flight
• If your flight is delayed by more than 12 hours you can claim for extra expenses at the airport, such as food and drink
• Your flight must be delayed by 24 hours in order for you to make a claim for cancelling your holiday
• Send us a letter from the airline that outlines the details of the delay
• You'll need to send us your flight ticket as proof that you were booked on the flight

Making a claim for missed departure

Missing your departure can be a terrible start to your holiday, but you can make a claim for it if the situation was beyond your control.

Here's what you can claim for and the steps you'll need to take:

• If your car breaks down, ask the roadside assistance company to give proof of the breakdown
• If there is a delay on the road such as road works or an accident, ask the highways agency to send a letter containing details of the incident
• If your bus, train or UK domestic flight to the airport is delayed, ask the public transport provider to send details of the delay
