If
you are a frequent flier or even an infrequent one, you might have experienced
flight delays at some point or the other.
And,
if you have not, then you have been lucky. But the common claim of the fliers
when a flight delay happens is that it leaves them stranded, irritated and
sometimes quite seriously affected, monetarily or otherwise.
When
we book a flight ticket, a lot of plan goes into the when and where and how of
it. Although we keep a bracketed time, many times we fly internationally and
have connecting flights to catch. At such times, a flight delay can adversely
affect you in a myriad of ways!
What
about all those hours spent in the crowded airport or worse, stranded in an
unknown city? Or the problems you need to tackle with a toddler or two to
handle?
Even
if the airline staff has been helpful and has provided you food (which
defiantly does not happen unless you are very lucky), you still have wasted
both time and money! Such delays, therefore, have to be rightly compensated.
The
flight delay compensations can be applied directly through the airlines. While you
can try the online queries and forms for getting the right compensation, most
of the airlines may not be quite receptive to your complaint. Calling their
customer care desk might get you a bit of leeway if you are lucky.
Alternatively,
you can also approach companies which deal with delay compensations claims.
Instead of approaching the airlines directly, these companies have standard
procedures which they can use to get your claim. Although it might not be as
simple as it sounds, better than you to do all the paperwork to get through the
clauses and rules that the airlines deliver at such times. After all, your
delay has already happened – why lose the flight delay compensation too because
you do not have time to pursue it?
Hire
the best compensation company in place to help you get some of that valuable
money you lost due to the delay.
