Cancelled flight evidence

What makes a cancelled flight letter stronger?

A cancelled flight claim is usually clearer when the letter separates refund rights, compensation rights, expenses and the airline's stated reason for cancelling.

Cancellation notice and timing

Keep the airline cancellation email, text messages, app notices and the date you were told about the cancellation.

Alternative travel and care costs

Hotel, food, transport and replacement ticket receipts can support reimbursement where the airline did not provide proper assistance.

Reason given by the airline

Weather, strike, technical, crew or operational reasons should be recorded so the airline can be asked to explain its position.
