Affected by flight delays? Know your rights

For any fliers affected by delays, our consumer advice expert Nick Trend has advice on what you can expect.

"If you are stranded at an airport, and your flight is cancelled or delayed overnight, your airline is responsible for providing meals and hotel accommodation for you," he said, "as well as rescheduling transport arrangements. It is not, however, responsible for additional compensation."

When travelling to the airport in bad weather, some travel insurance policies may cover you if you miss your flight because of it – as long as you have taken reasonable steps to allow extra time to get there.

"The terms of the policy will vary," Nick Trend explained. "It will be easier to claim successfully if you were using public transport which was delayed or cancelled.

"If you are driving yourself, you may need to be able to prove that the weather was so bad that you couldn't reasonably be expected to make it to the airport. Simply claiming that the forecast was bad is not likely to be enough."
