If you have provided your contact details, you can be notified by the airline. You can inquire via the self-service booking page if you haven't received an alternative flight.

Rebooking for another day is recommended by the airline. There is a high risk that you won't be able to continue your journey for several hours or even days if you don't have a confirmed alternative. There are visa regulations for entry into Germany. If you can make your own travel arrangements, please keep your receipts. Any hotel room is the same.

Know Your Rights

If you have travel insurance through a credit card, it's a good idea to check the fine print to make sure you're covered in the event of a trip interruption. Insurance providers may consider a strike to be force majeure.

The European Regulation EC 261 rule requires airlines to compensate passengers in the event of an accident.

• Denied boarding
• Flight cancellation
• Long delay of flights (three or more hours)

If your flight is delayed more than 3 hours, you may be able to get compensation of up to 600 dollars.
