5 things to be aware of if you are travelling during the autumn holidays
Autumn holidays are a popular time to travel, with many looking forward to taking a break from everyday life. Refundmore is here to ensure that your autumn holiday travel goes as smoothly as possible, especially if your flight is delayed or cancelled, and to help you get the compensation you are entitled to.
Here are five important things to be aware of, especially if you are travelling during the autumn holidays and flying to and from your destination.
Be prepared for delays and cancellations during your autumn holiday travel
Although the autumn holiday is a wonderful time to travel, delays and cancellations can unfortunately occur, just like any other time of the year. It is important to be prepared for this. If your flight is delayed or cancelled, you are entitled to compensation under EU law. Refundmore can help you obtain the compensation you are entitled to, so you don't have to worry about the legal aspects yourself. It can be a great relief to know that you won't have to face a stressful situation alone.
Check the airline's policies if you are travelling during the autumn holidays
Before you book your autumn holiday trip, it's a good idea to check the airline's booking policies. Some airlines offer more flexible rebooking options or refunds than others. This can provide you with greater peace of mind if something goes wrong with your trip. It's also worth exploring the options for changing your ticket if your plans change.
Avoid overpaying when travelling during the autumn holidays
If you want to travel cheaply during the autumn holidays, it is important to be mindful of when you book your tickets. Prices can vary greatly depending on how early you book and which days you travel. Refundmore recommends being flexible with your travel dates and using price monitoring tools to find the best deals. By booking early or choosing to travel on less busy days, you can often save significant amounts.
When purchasing flight tickets, we also recommend buying directly through the airline or through a travel agent authorised by the airline. Purchasing tickets through foreign ticketing websites can sometimes end up being more expensive than initially expected due to extra costs, surcharges, and fees. Additionally, it can be more challenging to get a refund from these types of sites compared to buying tickets directly from the airline.
Handling a missed connection during your autumn holiday travel
If you miss your connecting flight due to a delay or cancellation, it can be a frustrating experience. It's important to know that in many cases, you are entitled to compensation as long as your entire journey is under one booking. Refundmore can assist you in obtaining the compensation you deserve if you miss your connection.
When you miss a connecting flight, the airline is typically obligated to help you arrange a new flight to your final destination. This can include rebooking on the next available flight or alternative transport if necessary. If your new travel plan requires an overnight stay, the airline must also provide accommodation and transportation between the airport and the hotel.
Remember to document all expenses you incur due to a missed connection. Read more about your rights when missing a connecting flight.
Consider travel insurance when travelling during the autumn holidays
A good travel insurance policy can save you from many unforeseen expenses and hassles. If you face a cancellation, delay, or if your luggage goes missing, travel insurance can cover some of your costs and inconvenience. Research which insurance best suits your needs before travelling during the autumn holidays. It may also be a good idea to check if your current insurance covers travel or if you need to take out an additional policy.
