Got cancelled flights? Here are your rights as passengers

As Tropical Storm “Enteng” (international name: Yagi) caused flight cancellations today, some of us are uncertain about what will happen to our canceled bookings. Here are your rights as a passenger if your flights get cancelled, according to the Air Passenger Bill of Rights or the Joint DOTC-DTI Admin. Order No. 01.

  1. For cancellations of least 24 hours before the estimated time of departure (ETD), attributable to the air carrier, the passengers have the right
    • to be notified beforehand that their flight has been cancelled, and
    • to be rebooked or reimbursed.
  2. For cancellations less than 24 hours before ETD, attributable to the air carrier, the passengers have the right
    • to be notified beforehand that their flight has been cancelled,
    • provided with amenities (food, drinks, hotel accommodations, etc.),
    • to be reimbursed the value of the fare, taxes and surcharges, and other optional fees, and
    • to be able to rebook the ticket without additional charges.
  3. For cancellations due to other causes, i.e. force majeure, safety and/or security reasons, the passengers have the right
    • to be reimbursed the full value of the fare.
