What if my flight is cancelled or the airport closes?
Contact the airline immediately for rebooking or refund options; next, check your travel insurance for trip interruption/delay benefits and confirm whether you need to extend legal stay or coverage.
If your flight is cancelled or an airport closes, contact the carrier first to request rebooking or a refund.
