It is a much better known procedure now in the travel world, but it has not been the case for a long time. If you have recently taken a flight delayed by more than three hours or even a canceled flight, if your flight has been overbooked, you can make a claim for compensation directly with the airline company or through a specialized organization in these problems, such as Air Indemnité, with compensation ranging from € 250 to € 600 (except in the case of force majeure or exceptional) for an aircraft delay. These organizations generally take a commission once the case has been won by doing all the steps for you, but the request is free. These are often complicated steps to do yourself due to lack of time and legal knowledge and I really advise you to go through an air law specialist to do it for you. Go to this type of site to see if you are entitled to compensation and how much, send them the documents and you no longer need to deal with them while they are handling your case!

I tried to do it once through one of these organizations, having been more than three hours late on a flight from Brazil to Spain, but unfortunately it did not work this time, for reasons legal reasons that I did not really understand. However, from what I hear around me, it generally works very well.

If you cannot take your return flight on a round trip or you decide not to take it for personal reasons and you are in a legal situation in the country (be careful to check that this is the case! ), did you know that you can be reimbursed airport taxes on the return flight, since you do not take it and the airline simply makes easy money for no reason on your back? The amount of these taxes is often very high and is sometimes equal to more than 50% of the ticket price.

It was my case when I arrived in Argentina for my WHV. I had taken a round trip flight over a month because it was cheaper for me. I was therefore in a legal situation (thanks to my PVT) and entitled to be reimbursed for airport taxes. Except that you know the swindlers of the airlines who do everything so that you do not know your rights and to collect this money in their cases without impunity… I have read all the general conditions hidden on the Delta site, I have studied my case and I was entitled to request 250 euros in reimbursement of taxes on the return flight. I had to call HQ in the United States at my expense to explain my case. They hung up on me, they transferred me from service to service, until I came across a very nice gentleman who listened to me, who did not think it was possible, who congratulated for knowing my rights so much, who checked with his manager that it was good… and who concluded by asking me to send a fax to request my reimbursement.
