What to do when your connecting flight is cancelled becomes especially important when you must reach your destination by a specific time. You might be travelling for a business meeting, family celebration, examination, or important appointment. Explain your time-sensitive commitment to the airline and ask whether an earlier alternative route is available. Compare the estimated arrival times of different options instead of focusing only on departure times. If reaching your destination on schedule is no longer possible, contact the people or organizations expecting you and discuss alternative arrangements. Review any prepaid reservations that could be affected by the delay. Keeping records of the cancellation and replacement options may also help when discussing eligible expenses with the airline or your travel insurer.
