You get so many facilities while traveling in a flight, know your rights

People consider air travel better for long-distance travel. In the last few years, the number of passengers traveling by air has also increased. Most people have started seeing flight booking as a better option for long travel in less time. Traveling by flight is very comfortable, but it also costs the same.

Now in such a situation, if you are traveling so expensively, then it is natural to get the same facilities. In such a situation, it is very important for you to know what facilities the airline will provide you during the flight journey and also what are your rights during the flight journey. So let us know...

Facilities available during flight

Traveling by flight is very exciting, but many things are uncertain in it, due to which passengers often have to face problems. These problems include flight delay, flight cancellation, overbooking or problems like loss of luggage. To avoid these problems, DGCA has made many rules for the convenience of passengers.

If the flight is delayed

If your flight is delayed for some time due to any reason, then the airline will have to provide you with phone calls, food, accommodation and internet facilities. On the other hand, if there is a delay of more than 24 hours, then you have full right to cancel your flight and get a refund.

If the flight is cancelled

If the airline is cancelling your flight, then they will have to refund the entire amount or book another flight, but if the cancellation is due to bad weather, air traffic control restrictions, or any other reason, then they are not obliged to refund.

Rights of disabled people

For the convenience of disabled passengers, the airline has to provide special wheelchairs. Along with this, disabled people can book facilities like priority boarding, escort service and medical in advance.

In case of lost luggage

If your luggage gets lost during the journey, the airline will have to pay compensation according to the weight of the luggage. On the other hand, if the luggage is received late, then you can ask for expenses for toiletries and other necessary items. In case of damage to the luggage, the airline will have to compensate for the loss. So next time whenever you travel by flight, remember these rights of yours so that you do not face any problem during the journey and you can experience a pleasant journey.
