Claiming Compensation for Son Sant Joan Airport Flight Cancellations
Looking into Son Sant Joan Airport cancellations brings up a whole range of questions for affected travellers. Under EU law, airlines must take care of their passengers, but must also get them to their intended destination, assuming the passenger still wishes to travel.
Additionally, if the airline canceled your flight less than 2 weeks before you were due to fly, you may be owed up to US$650 as well.
Passengers should be aware that there are some exceptions under EU law. One example is if Son Sant Joan Airport had to cancel flights for a reason that was outside of the airline's control. That is classified as extraordinary circumstances and the airline won't have to pay compensation. Typical examples of extraordinary circumstances include dangerous weather conditions at Son Sant Joan Airport, or a strike by air traffic control.

Compensation for Son Sant Joan Airport Delays
Getting stuck for several hours because of delays in Son Sant Joan Airport isn't just frustrating, it often costs passengers their hard-earned money. Whether that's paying for essential food and drink during your wait, or missing out on pre-planned activities thanks to a late arrival at your destination. That's why it's so important passengers are aware that they may have the right to compensation — up to US$650 per person, under EU law.
Although passengers on delayed flights from Son Sant Joan Airport will be counting down the hours until takeoff, when it comes to claiming compensation, it's the delay getting to your destination airport that's important. The right to compensation kicks in when passengers land 3 hours or more after the scheduled time.
Air travellers should know about one key exception: flight delays as a result of extraordinary circumstances. If the flight delay was caused by bad weather conditions, an incident at the airport, or strikes by air traffic control, the airline won't pay compensation in these cases, because these are not situations that they can control.
