Missed Flight: What To Do

Missing a flight can be stressful, but here's a breakdown of steps you should take:

1. Stay Calm: Panicking won't help. Take a deep breath and assess the situation.

2. Contact the Airline Immediately: Whether you missed your flight due to a late arrival at the airport or other unforeseen circumstances, contacting the airline is the most crucial step. Find an airline representative at the airport, or call their customer service line immediately. Explain your situation. Airline contact information should be readily available on your ticket or on the airline's website. Discuss if there's a chance you can still board and if there is any extra charge for the change. Here you can find a page with the information about the airlines: Airlines

3. Determine the Reason: Knowing why you missed your flight is crucial. Was it the airline's fault (e.g., a delayed connecting flight)? Or was it your responsibility (e.g., traffic delay, oversleeping)? This impacts your options.

4. Rebooking Options:

   • Airline Error: If the airline is at fault, they are typically responsible for rebooking you on the next available flight at no extra cost. They might also offer meal vouchers or accommodation if the delay is significant.
   • Your Fault: If you missed the flight due to your own error, you will likely be subject to a "no-show" fee and may need to purchase a new ticket. However, it's always worth asking the airline representative if they can offer a reduced fare or waive certain fees. See the fares page here: Fares
   • Same-Day Change (if applicable): Some airlines offer a same-day change option for a fee, allowing you to get on an earlier or later flight on the same day. Inquire if this is an option.

5. Check Your Travel Insurance: If you have Travel%20Insurance, review your policy to see if it covers missed flights. Some policies will reimburse you for costs associated with rebooking or accommodation if you miss a flight due to unforeseen circumstances.

6. Consider Alternative Airports: If possible, explore options for flying from a nearby airport. This may increase your chances of finding an available flight sooner.

7. Be Polite and Persistent: Airline representatives are more likely to assist you if you remain calm and courteous. Clearly explain your situation and be persistent in exploring all available options. This behavior always helps. See Behavior page for help.

8. Document Everything: Keep records of your original flight ticket, any new tickets you purchase, receipts for expenses incurred (meals, accommodation), and any communication you have with the airline. This documentation can be useful for insurance claims or future disputes.

Important Considerations:

• "No-Show" Policies: Most airlines have "no-show" policies. If you miss the first flight in a multi-leg journey and don't notify the airline, they may cancel the remaining flights in your itinerary.
• Time Difference: Be aware of time zone differences when rebooking or arranging alternative transportation.
