10. Can I claim for compensation in case the cause is an extraordinary circumstance?
Extraordinary circumstances, like freak weather conditions, air traffic control strikes and acts of terrorism, are situations which could not be foreseen and avoided even if all reasonable measures are taken. If one of these is in question and in case the airline company proves the case, you might not be eligible to claim.
Keep in mind that airline companies use this tricky phrase to refuse your claims even if you are eligible to get compensation. At this point, Click2Refund team is ready to secure your rights thanks to its superior software and the legal network.
