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

Operational conditions can change quickly. Check the airline and airport for live status before travelling.
Compensation is only one part of your rights
Thunderstorms are generally outside an airline's control, but passenger remedies depend on the route, operating carrier and actual cancellation or delay.
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 your airline before departure and retain delay or cancellation messages, replacement itinerary and reasonable-expense receipts.
