Operational conditions can change quickly. Check the airline and airport for live status before travelling.
Compensation is only one part of your rights
A carrier technical failure can raise different passenger-rights questions from weather or air traffic restrictions. Brazilian ANAC rules and the airline's obligations should be assessed using the actual cancellation, assistance and rebooking provided.
Refund or rerouting
A cancellation can create travel-remedy rights even where an extraordinary circumstance prevents fixed compensation.
Care and expenses
Where the applicable rules provide a duty of care, reasonable meals, accommodation or transport can remain separate from compensation.
What to do now
Passengers on G3 1747 or directly affected connecting travel should keep the booking, airline explanation, assistance or rebooking record and receipts.
