Back to newsMajor flight disruptions are affecting travel across Europe, with over 3,410 flights delayed and 140 cancelled at airports including Barcelona and Amsterdam. Airlines impacted include Lufthansa, Finnair, and Ryanair. The disruptions stem from operational issues in Spain, France, Austria, and other countries.
Tourists planning to travel to or from Crete via connecting European hubs should check their flight status before heading to the airport. Those with layovers in affected cities face the highest risk of delays. Travelers are advised to contact their airline directly for rebooking options, keep receipts for any additional expenses incurred, and be aware that EU Regulation 261/2004 entitles passengers to compensation and assistance in cases of significant delays or cancellations caused by the carrier. Travel insurance holders should also review their policy for coverage of trip interruptions.
