It seems that flight delays have become a common occurrence. I have encountered them twice myself, and I have summarized some experiences. Let's share them.

1. Be patient and calm. Delays are unexpected things, so don't be overly anxious or angry. Stay calm and wait for the arrangement of the airline.

2. Communicate with airlines in time, ask about the specific situation, and find out whether the flight is cancelled or delayed. Always pay attention to the flight information update, the flight status may change at any time, always pay attention to the flight information to ensure timely response measures.

3. immediately check whether you have bought delay insurance. if you have bought it, you will have a claim. if you have not bought it, remember to buy it next time.

4. If the flight is cancelled, don't be nervous, communicate with the airline staff. At this time, you can choose to change the next flight. If there is no flight on that day, you can also ask the airline to arrange accommodation. Generally, there is a room for two people. If you are a senior member of the airline, you can stay in a single room.

what should I do while waiting?

1. I usually find a place to charge first, keep the power of my mobile phone, play games and brush up video, voice and video chat.

2. Walk around the airport to get familiar with the environment. Some airports are also worth visiting, such as Changi Airport in Singapore and Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. There are not only many duty-free shops, but also museums and botanical gardens, which are themselves a major attraction. However, the probability of international flights being delayed is relatively low, but even if there is no delay, it is recommended that you visit the airport in advance.

3. When there is a delay, the boarding gate is bound to be crowded and the environment is noisy. If you want to avoid the noisy crowd, a coffee shop or restaurant is a good place to go. Spend tens of dollars to buy a comfortable seat and a relatively quiet environment, and this wave will not lose money.

4. Having said that, playing games on mobile phones may be the common operation for most people to kill time. Especially when there is a delay after boarding the plane, you can only play with your mobile phone or read books except sleeping in a closed and narrow cabin. ?

some friends will ask, if the airline didn't send me to my destination on time, can I claim compensation? If it's reasonable, the airline can only change or refund your flight for free due to weather, air traffic control and other reasons. Generally, there will be no compensation. At most, it will distribute some food and drinks during the waiting period and be responsible for arranging overnight accommodation and transportation. Occasionally, under the collective argument of passengers, airlines will make a compromise, and each person will pay hundreds of dollars.

if the reason for the delay in departure is the airline's responsibility, passengers can seek corresponding compensation, such as catering, accommodation or refund. It is ok to make reasonable demands, but it is not recommended to have conflicts with the airline or to ask for compensation. Believe me, the airline is more anxious than you when it is delayed. After all, every minute of delay is a loss of glistening money. It is imperative to cooperate with the requirements of the ground crew and wait patiently for takeoff or find another travel plan.

I once cancelled flights in Shenzhen airport due to the weather, and the surrounding hotels were full, saying that I could not arrange accommodation. After negotiation, I finally reimbursed the transportation fee of 151 yuan per person.

The delay is really annoying, but can we also try to turn this resentment and anger into kindness and kindness, so that we can care about the old people, girls and children who are waiting for the plane together and look forward to the next journey calmly.

after all, the flight will not take off one minute earlier because of our urging; And we won't land a second late because of our patience.

At this moment, the most important thing for us is to take care of ourselves and the people around us, and ask them for food and clothing. I believe they will also satisfy everyone. As long as everyone is more patient and tolerant, the happiness of the journey will come quietly.
