Understanding Flight Cancellation Compensation

If your flight is cancelled, UK air passenger rights mandate the airline to provide an alternative flight or a refund. For abrupt cancellations (within 14 days of departure), you might be eligible for up to £520 per passenger. Airlines aren’t obliged to offer compensation in ‘extraordinary circumstances.’
