Flight cancellations and delays in March 2024
March 2024 saw widespread flight delays and cancellations across Europe, leaving thousands of travellers stranded or arriving hours late.

If you were on one of these flights and experienced a significant delay, you might still have the right to claim compensation. In Germany, passengers have up to three years to assert these rights retroactively.
