Were you offered a voucher for your cancelled flight from Rome? Here’s what you should do.

If your flight to Rome has been cancelled, the airline may offer you a voucher or travel credit as compensation instead of a monetary refund. While this may seem like a convenient option, it is suggested by legal experts to not accept these vouchers over the refund you may be entitled to. Here are the reasons:

  • Vouchers limit flexibility in terms of when and where you can use them.

  • Vouchers limit your ability to receive full compensation for your cancelled flight, as they may not cover additional expenses such as hotel or transportation costs that you may have incurred as a result of the cancellation.

Extraordinary circumstances - can the airline really deny my claim?

Under British and EU regulations, there are circumstances beyond the control of the airline, known as extraordinary circumstances, that may exempt them from paying compensation. These circumstances may include the following:

  • Bad weather conditions, such as thick fog, heavy rain, or thunderstorms.

  • A strike, most often specifically within the aviation industry (for example, a strike of air traffic control workers at a specific airport).

    However, a strike of the airline's crew is not considered an extraordinary circumstance!

  • Political circumstances, such as a terrorist attack or general security risk due to political unrest.

  • Natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions and hurricanes.

  • A collision between the aircraft and birds or other foreign objects.

  • An ill or unruly passenger.

  • Flight delays caused by the airport staff, such as extraordinarily long queues to security checks.
