EU261 says:
If a flight is cancelled,
passengers are automatically entitled to their choice of
- re-routing to the same destination at the earliest opportunity (under comparable conditions);
- later rerouting, at the passenger's convenience, to the same destination under comparable conditions (subject to seat availability); or
- a refund of the ticket as well as a return flight to the point of first departure, when relevant
Yeah in normal circumstances, anyone would be happy to stick with those revised times.....Hence I was not sure one could argue about getting a refund or not?
But if the legal ruling is simply based on the criteria of the flight(s) being cancelled, then it would safe to know that we'd be eligible for requesting a refund on the ticket which is good to know.
Otherwise, it would be voucher as we'd be unable to book out for say the next summer at this stage.
Is there any timeline we need to raise such refund on such change? Only noticed by accident today, and no email to inform us of this change?
I'm hoping refunds will be straight forward?
