5 tips for your summer holiday travel

 

Summer is a time when many of us embark on our long-awaited vacations, and it's a season often associated with sunshine, relaxation, and new adventures. However, when it comes to traveling during the summer holidays, there are certain things you should be mindful of to ensure that your journey goes as smoothly as possible. Here are a few things you should consider if you're traveling during the summer holidays, as well as what to do in case of a flight cancellation or delay.

 

 

Plan your summer holiday travel well in advance and be flexible

When traveling during the summer holidays, it's crucial to plan your trip well in advance. Book your flights and accommodation ahead of time to avoid last-minute stress and potential sold-out tickets. Additionally, be flexible with your travel dates, as prices often vary depending on when you travel. Being flexible may enable you to find better and cheaper prices and avoid the busiest travel days.



Keep an eye on the weather conditions and the airline's information

Summer weather can be unpredictable, so make sure to stay updated on the weather conditions both at home and at your destination. This can help you prepare for any changes to your travel plans. Additionally, it's essential to regularly check the airline's information for any updates on flight cancellations or delays.



If your summer holiday flight is cancelled

In the event of a flight cancellation, immediately contact the airline to get information about your options. According to EU legislation, passengers are entitled to compensation, meals, and possible accommodation, depending on the distance and length of the delay. Refundmore can also assist in ensuring that you receive your rightful compensation. Read more about your rights in case of a flight cancellation here.

It's important to keep all documents and receipts for any expenses you incur as a result to ensure that you receive the rightful compensation.
