A friendly reminder to anyone in Europe affected by the #AirTransat strike.

If your cancelled flight was to depart from an airport in the EU, EEA, UK or Switzerland, and you decide not to travel, they must offer you a refund.

Not a travel credit. A refund. To your original payment method.

A4E has long called for reform of #EU261.

Current rules are unclear and fall short of helping #passengers reach their destination swiftly.

We need:
🔹 Updated delay thresholds
🔹 Clear list of extraordinary circumstances

The complete guide to EC 261 and European air travel rights in 2025 If you're flying on a European airline, you have more rights than you may think. The reason? EC 261 (also known as the EU 261).

Delayed or canceled in Europe? You could get up to €600! 💰 Airlines won’t make it easy—we’ll show you how to claim what’s yours. Share your story!
