Manage episode 407509826 series 3562520
What happens if your flight is cancelled or delayed? Do you know what your consumer rights are? With travel chaos expected in the UK and European airports this summer, it's more important than ever to know how to deal with cancellations, delays and lost bags. In this episode, we speak to consumer rights champion Jane Hawkes to find out what you need to do in the event of flight delays, queues and holiday cancellations.
Across Europe we’re experiencing a summer of travel discontent with daily flight cancellations, unmanageable queues and mountains of lost baggage, as strikes, shortages and increasing demand for international travel continue to pressure the travel industry and airlines.
Jane gives her expert insight into what has led to this travel chaos and what your legal rights are when you face travel disruption. She also gives her top tips on how to travel smarter this summer and how you can claim compensation when your holiday plans fall apart.
