Everyone doesn't want to have this kind of thing, but there are always some emergencies. What should we do if the plane is delayed? Can the plane be rescheduled? Let's learn from the editor.
What to do if the plane is missed
1. Personal error
There is no corresponding insurance if the passenger misses the plane due to his own reasons. However, if the delay or flight cancellation is caused by the airline, you can buy aviation accident insurance to get compensation for the loss.
Generally, according to the length of the delay, we can get different degrees of compensation and recover the time cost properly. Especially in the place where all weather conditions are not good and the aircraft is often missed due to weather reasons, it is very cost-effective to buy this kind of insurance.
2. Irresistible cause error
If the air delay is caused by force majeure such as weather, you can contact the airline to change the ticket. The delay caused by such force majeure is generally free of charge.
If the weather is so severe that the flight can't take off on the same day, it can only be rescheduled to the next day at the earliest. In this case, the airline will not provide accommodation at the airport. However, if the reason for the delay or cancellation is the airline's problem, passengers have the right to request the airline to provide accommodation at the airport.
3. Missed connecting flight
If you buy a connecting flight ticket and miss the first flight, if it's the responsibility of the passenger, you should contact the airline immediately to see if you can change the subsequent flight, or change the ticket to catch up with the subsequent flight, and reschedule the connecting flight.
If the problem is caused by the airline, in this case, the airline will arrange and change the ticket for the passengers. If it is necessary to stay overnight, the airline will also be responsible for the arrangement and cost of accommodation.
Can I change the ticket if I miss the flight
1. Full price ticket can be changed
If it is a full price ticket purchased by an airline, the ticket can be changed at the airport counter once the flight is missed. The change depends on the departure time of the next flight.
Usually, the routes with more flights may only be a few hours away, but if there are few flights, it may be the next day or even delayed to get on the plane, and the ticket change may need to make up the difference in the price of the ticket.
If the same airline does not have the right flight on the same day, but other airlines have the right ticket, and the purchased ticket can be refunded, you can also pay a certain fee to refund the ticket, and then immediately purchase the ticket of other airlines.
2. Discount tickets cannot be returned or changed
If you buy a discount or a cheap ticket, there is no possibility of returning or changing the ticket after you miss the flight. At this time, the ticket can only be voided, so we must be optimistic about the return and change rules before buying the ticket, and be prepared before departure.
Tips
When purchasing tickets on the website of some ticket agencies, the tickets found out are not necessarily joint tickets, but must be judged whether the two-way tickets are joint tickets according to whether the ticket number is one.
