airport authority and/or action by air traffic controllers, mechanical breakdown
or industrial action. Where long flight delays result in lost holiday time, no
refunds are given by hotels or suppliers. Similarly, airlines do not offer
compensation for flight delays. However, at their discretion, carriers will
