You are ready for a break from work, stress free and then your flight gets cancelled or delayed, its every holiday makers worse nightmare. You’ve had the stress of packing and buying a plethora of new items you probably won’t even use and you’ve navigated your way through a hot and sticky selection of Britain’s finest, crowded motorways. After all of that, you now find out your flight is delayed or cancelled.
What can you do? You’ll be pleased to know, there is a way to beat the stress, using nothing more than your phone. Airports have a few things in common, one of which is the plethora of hotels close by, so instead of waiting it out for your new flight in a smelly, dingy drab airport lounge, get yourself in to a nice hotel for the night and de-stress. You will have one more hurdle to jump though, which hotel? Fortunately, we have plenty of price comparison sites that can take the hard work out of finding one and its at the click of a button on your phone.
Of course, not all airports have great hotels, but take Gatwick Airport hotels for instance, the choice on offer is staggering. Dont forget, check your travel insurance for their cancelled or delayed flight rules, you may find the cost of your hotel can be picked up.
Even without insurance, you may be entitled to some form of re-imbursement by the airline, depending on the reason for the cancelled/delayed flight, but be careful as many cut price airlines do not provide this service and although in many instances you are entitled to compensation, you would need to go through the courts to do so.
There are certain, reasonable events that don’t count for compensation, such as acts of god so make sure you check with the airline first before booking an expensive hotel, only to find you have to pay for it!
