The cold weather spell currently prevailing over Ireland and Europe may cause disruption to many flights.

If your flight is cancelled or delayed as a result of these weather conditions, you should know that you have significant rights and entitlements under EC Regulation No. 261/ 2004. Below is a brief summary of these rights and entitlements.

If your flight is cancelled with no prior notice, you are entitled to:

Be informed of your legal rights by the airline;
Access to telephone, fax, telex or other forms of communication;
A refund or an alternative flight to you destination subject to availability, and;
Food, refreshments and accommodation offered by the airline free of charge (if necessary and in reasonable relation to the waiting time) while waiting on an alternative flight.

If your flight is delayed for certain prescribed timeframes (i.e. at least 2 hours for short haul flights and 3 hours for medium haul flights), you are entitled to:

Be informed of your legal entitlements by the airline;
Food and refreshments in reasonable relation to the waiting time;
Two phone calls, telex or fax messages, or emails;
Accommodation if a stay of one or more nights becomes necessary;
Transport between the airport and place of accommodation.
It is important to note that these rights and entitlements apply even though the cause of the flight cancellation/ delay is weather related!

It is very important to ensure that you have an adequate insurance policy when you are booking any type of travel. Being properly insured will probably be the best decision that you will make when planning your next trip. Buying travel insurance is hassle-free (in 99% of cases) and you can opt to have a single policy, an annual policy, a family policy etc…
During these recessionary times, it would also be very important to consider having cover in the event of being made redundant.

By being properly insured you can relax and enjoy your holiday…
