Fixed compensation
Do not assume it is automatically due. The cause, applicable passenger-rights regime and the airline's response all matter.

Indonesia's ANTARA news agency reported on 24 September that the Transportation Ministry had recorded disruption to 409 flights in Kalimantan as smoke reduced visibility around airports. The operational impact can change rapidly with local visibility and fire conditions.
Operational conditions can change quickly. Check the airline and airport for live status before travelling.
Compensation is only one part of your rights
Weather and wildfire smoke are generally outside an airline's control, but that does not mean passengers have no rebooking, refund or care options. The applicable remedy depends on the route, carrier and local rules.
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
Check both the departure and arrival airport plus the operating airline before travelling. Keep airline notices, replacement itinerary and receipts if the disruption affects your journey.
