Quick answer

Austrian Airlines cancelled flight compensation: refund, rerouting and rights

A covered Austrian Airlines cancellation can create refund or rerouting and care rights. Fixed compensation can also be possible, but the amount of advance notice, replacement-flight timings, route and extraordinary circumstances can change or remove that entitlement.

Travel remedies and compensation are different questions

Austrian Airlines' passenger-rights guidance covers cancellation assistance and reimbursement as well as the separate conditions for fixed compensation.

A cancellation therefore should not be reduced to one automatic compensation figure: rerouting, reimbursement, care and fixed compensation each have their own conditions.

Keep the facts that determine the cancellation result

The checker needs the original itinerary, when the cancellation notice arrived, any replacement itinerary and the airline's explanation of the cause. These facts determine which rights can be supported.

  • Keep the original booking and cancellation notice.
  • Record when the notice was received.
  • Save the alternative itinerary and any Austrian Airlines explanation of the cause.
