What types of travel are covered

Flight cancellations refund, as well as the compensation for the flights delayed for a certain period of time, can be claimed for all types of flights, whether you travel as a tourist or have a business trip. However, there may be some peculiarities which you should be aware of.

For example, you want to get the delayed flight compensation for the business trip. In this case, you would get it as the passenger, not an employee. Thus, the refund would be paid to you, not to your employer, because it was you who experienced inconvenience during the trip. What if you were to use the charter flight but it has been cancelled? The situation is the same as with the ordinary flight cancellations or delays.

However, in cases when the Charterer wants to cancel a flight, and when the necessary Agreement is confirmed, the following rates may be paid:

50% of the Charter price if the flight is cancelled after the Agreement is confirmed
100% of the Charter price if the flight is cancelled within 14 days of the departure time as scheduled in the Contract.

Were you travelling on a charter or on a scheduled flight, your right for compensation is guaranteed by the EC 261 (if the delay is more than 3 hours and the blame is put on the airline).
