Rebook after a cancelled or delayed flight

“My flight got cancelled or I'll miss my connection — what now?”

Act fast: AI can find alternatives on the same airline and partners, tell you what to ask for, and draft the message to the airline. Know your rights before you accept a voucher.

Fix it yourself in 3 steps

Have your booking reference, the airline's notice, and your must-arrive time ready.
Ask the AI to list alternative flights and what the airline should owe you (meals, hotel, refund).
Ask the airline (app, chat or desk) for the best option; keep receipts for any costs.

Copy this prompt

My flight [number, date, route] was [cancelled/delayed X hours]. I need to arrive by [time]. List alternative flights on the same airline and partners, then tell me what I can ask for under the rules that likely apply (with official links). Draft a short message to the airline. Don't change my booking — stop after the list and draft.

Fill in the [brackets]. Each prompt says when the AI should stop, so it doesn't wander off.
