Disruption from Manchester Airport’s major power cut continued to affect thousands of travellers on Monday.
Among them were people awaiting alternative departures after Sunday’s wave of cancellations, and those whose flights went ahead but their checked-in luggage was not put on to the plane. Airline Jet2.com said it “may take some time” for all baggage to reach passengers. The power outage, which hit systems in the early hours of Sunday, meant that about 70 departures and 50 arrivals were axed, according to aviation analytics company Cirium.
This might influence your decision to reschedule or opt for a refund. A spokesperson for Claims.co.uk said: “Whilst booking a package holiday can slash the cost of going away, if your flight is cancelled you can risk having your whole holiday cancelled or rearranged. “If you have booked a package holiday and your flights are cancelled, you have the rights to either claim a full refund, a reroute of the trip destination and potentially compensation from the airline.
