Disruption stage
Protect the journey first. Assess compensation second.
Confirm the operating carrier’s status, protect onward connections, request written reasons, retain receipts and keep every rebooking message.
Immediate actions
- Verify the change through the operating carrier and airport.
- Ask about rebooking, care and accommodation before buying alternatives.
- Notify hotels, transfers and insurers when timing changes.
- Save boarding passes, notices, receipts and the actual arrival time.
- After travel, check the rules that apply to the route and disruption cause.
Eligibility varies by jurisdiction and facts. Journvia provides an organisational checklist, not legal advice.
