You are ready for a break from work, stress free and then your flight gets cancelled or delayed, its every holiday makers worse nightmare. It’s already been stressful trying to pack for 5 people, squash all the gear in to tiny hand luggage bags and then somehow made your way through excessive traffic. You really didnt want to hear that your flight had been cancelled.
What can you do? You’ll be pleased to know, there is a way to beat the stress, using nothing more than your phone. One of the things we are particularly blessed with at airports are hotels and frankly, if you have to wait another day for your flight, what better way than to check yourself in to a nice hotel for the evening to take away the stress. Just one last issue to clear up, which hotel? Luckily, there are plenty of comparison sites out there and browsing on your mobile is much easier these days.
Of course, not all airports have great hotels, but take Gatwick Airport Hotels for instance, the choice on offer is staggering. Dont forget, check your travel insurance for their cancelled or delayed flight rules, you may find the cost of your hotel can be picked up.
Even without insurance, you may be entitled to some form of re-imbursement by the airline, depending on the reason for the cancelled/delayed flight, but be careful as many cut price airlines do not provide this service and although in many instances you are entitled to compensation, you would need to go through the courts to do so.
There are certain, reasonable events that don’t count for compensation, such as acts of god so make sure you check with the airline first before booking an expensive hotel, only to find you have to pay for it!
