Loading...There are protests in Barcelona. They have become so intense spreading to El Prat International Airport. Vehicles were set on fire during the third day of disruption. Severe prison sentences against Catalan separatist have led to such consequences.
Protesting people blocked roads to the airport this week. And it led to a lot of cancelled flights. Recently the U.K. airport was shutdown. It was because drones were noticed flying over the runways.
As for today, Barcelona airport operates according to the schedule, without any interruptions. Though it is highly possible that there may be a shutdown due to further protests. So it is recommended to monitor the flight information before heading to the airport.
In case of your flight cancellation the options a passenger has depend on the following factors: how the ticket was paid for and where he/she is flying to or from.
But at the same time a passenger cannot do much in case of a three-hour delay. As any means of transport are subjected to delays in general. Just contact the airline support service and find an alternative way.
Though if the whole airport shuts down it can be a challenge to get through the customer support. A lot of people will do it at the same time. So, it is necessary to act quickly.
If a passenger buys tickets via third party websites he/she may face difficulties as well. As a rule, in such cases airline companies do not deal with a passenger’s matter directly. They ask him/her to go to their travel agent. That is whu it is better to keep it in mind while booking a ticket.
