The Independent’s Travel Correspondent Simon Calder has outlined how stranded Brits can get money back from airlines following the air traffic control failure.<br /><br />Simon has clarified the difference between compensation and reimbursements.<br /><br />He said: “If your flight is cancelled, the airline has a strict obligation to deliver a duty of care.<br /><br />“This includes getting you back as soon as possible, getting you a hotel room, getting your meals. All of that the airline has to do and if they’re not booking a hotel for you, then you keep the receipts and claim it back.<br /><br />“But, nobody is going to get cash compensation because it’s clearly not the airline’s fault.”
