Unfortunately, Myflightrefund.com cannot help with obtaining compensation in the event of bankruptcies. This applies to both new cases after the bankruptcy petition and existing cases created before the bankruptcy petition. Here is an overview of what you can do instead if an airline you are traveling with goes bankrupt:
1. You purchased a package trip, but the airline goes bankrupt before your departure date
Your travel provider has a duty to get you to your destination with an alternative airline. If this does not happen, you have the right to be reimbursed the full amount for your package tour. If you arrive with a delay due to bankruptcy, you may be entitled to a discount in the price. All inquiries regarding this must be made directly to your tour operator.
2. You have purchased individual airline tickets, but the airline goes bankrupt before your departure date
If your tickets are purchased using an international credit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Diners Club), your bank may seek compensation on your behalf. All inquiries must be made directly to your bank.
3. You purchased a package tour, but the airline goes bankrupt during your trip
Your travel provider has a duty to bring you home from your travel destination with an alternative airline. If the bankruptcy results in extra nights at the destination, expenses for these must be covered by the travel provider. If the bankruptcy results in an earlier departure than planned, you are entitled to a discount in the price. All inquiries regarding this must be made directly to your tour operator.
4. You have purchased individual airline tickets, but the airline goes bankrupt during your trip
If your tickets are purchased using an international credit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Diners Club), your bank may seek compensation on your behalf. All inquiries must be made directly to your bank.
If you have private travel insurance, it is also a good idea to contact your insurance company for assistance.
