The airline might provide you with a travel voucher instead of a monetary refund. Here's why we don't advise accepting travel vouchers:
 

  1. You will be required to fly with the same airline moving forward if you accept a travel voucher. Furthermore, the airline will probably impose a timeframe by which you must use the voucher.

  2. You can encounter difficulties getting your money back if the airline ever declares bankruptcy.

Extraordinary circumstances disrupted my Spain flight — can the airline really deny my claim? 

Even if a flight was cancelled or delayed by more than 3 hours, the airline may legitimately refuse to provide passengers compensation in particular circumstances. These circumstances—which we refer to as extraordinary circumstances—occur when a third party or unforeseen incident, rather than the airline, is to blame for the delay or cancellation.

Here are a few examples of extraordinary circumstances:

 

  • Bad weather conditions, such as thick fog, heavy rain, or thunderstorms.

  • A strike, most often specifically within the aviation industry (for example, a strike of air traffic control workers at a specific airport).

    However, a strike of the airline's crew is not considered an extraordinary circumstance!

  • Political circumstances, such as a terrorist attack or general security risk due to political unrest.

  • Natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions and hurricanes.

  • A collision between the aircraft and birds or other foreign objects.

  • An ill or unruly passenger.

  • Flight delays caused by the airport staff, such as extraordinarily long queues to security checks.

 

How long can I claim for my delayed or cancelled flight from Spain?

According to Spanish law, you can file a claim for compensation for a flight to or from Spain 5 years after the flight.

In accordance with British law, passengers who are flying to or from the UK or flying with a British airline are eligible to file claims up to 6 years after their disrupted flight.
