Top things to do when your flight is delayed

When you’re all set to jet off to sunnier shores or even travelling for business purposes, no one likes to hear the words that their flight has been delayed, right?

From technical issues to extreme weather conditions causing havoc in the air, flights can be delayed or cancelled with little notice.
