Cancelled Binter flight — your refund and compensation rights

If your Binter flight has been cancelled, you may be entitled to a refund of your ticket, compensation, or even both, depending on the exact circumstances surrounding the cancellation.

When can I claim compensation for a cancelled Binter flight?

You can claim compensation for your cancelled Binter Canarias flight if the airline has announced the cancellation less than 14 days before the scheduled departure date and if the airline was at fault for the cancellation. See the "Extraordinary Circumstances" section of this article for more information.

When can I claim a refund for my cancelled Binter flight?

You may be entitled to a refund for a cancelled Binter flight if your flight was cancelled and you did not take the airline's alternative flight or if the airline offered you an alternative flight, but you decided not to take it.

Cancellation notice	Alternative flight	Compensation
Fewer than 7 days in advance	Departs 1h+ earlier or arrived 2h+ later	Yes
7-14 days in advance	Departs 2h+ earlier or arrived 4h+ later	Yes
Fewer than 14 days in advance	No alternative flight offered	Yes + refund

Binter has offered me a travel voucher instead of a refund. Should I accept it?

We strongly advise you not to accept a travel voucher.

• Since you will have to use your voucher to make good use of your money, you will be forced to fly with the same airline in the future. In addition, Binter Canarias may impose a time limit for redeeming your voucher.

• Moreover, if the airline goes bankrupt you might not be able to exchange your voucher for a monetary refund — which means that you will lose your money.

Have you already accepted a Binter Canarias travel voucher? Check Flight-Delayed.co.uk to see if you can still get a cash refund.

Extraordinary circumstances — can Binter deny me compensation?

Extraordinary circumstances are situations where the airline is not to blame for the delay or cancellation of your flight. In cases where the cancellation is due to force majeure or the intervention of a third party, you may not be entitled to flight compensation from Binter.

Here is a list (not exhaustive) of the most common extraordinary circumstances:

• Bad weather conditions, such as thick fog, heavy rain, or thunderstorms.

• A strike, most often specifically within the aviation industry (for example, a strike of air traffic control workers at a specific airport).

  However, a strike of the airline's crew is not considered an extraordinary circumstance!

• Political circumstances, such as a terrorist attack or general security risk due to political unrest.

• Natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions and hurricanes.

• A collision between the aircraft and birds or other foreign objects.

• An ill or unruly passenger.

• Flight delays caused by the airport staff, such as extraordinarily long queues to security checks.

The airline may wrongly claim that the delay or cancellation was due to extraordinary circumstances to avoid paying compensation.

When this happens, we recommend that you double-check the information and submit a new claim through Flight-Delayed.co.uk. Our team of experts will investigate your claim and notify you if you are entitled to flight compensation. For your comfort, we work on a “no win, no fee” basis.
