Flight delayed or cancelled due to fog? Know your compensation rights

The sudden flight cancellations earlier this week due to dense fog in cities like Delhi and Chandigarh have affected travel plans and onward journeys of many passengers going out on vacations or business meetings. Social media platforms have also been abuzz with videos of passengers yelling at ground staff for their rights after flights were delayed at a few airports across the country. Since a weather-related delay or cancellation is more likely to happen now than ever, it is best to get travel insurance to be on the safer side because airlines can’t be held liable to compensate the customer in case of weather-related issues or other extraordinary forces called ‘Force Majeure’.
