What happens if my flight to UK is cancelled?

If your flight to the UK is cancelled, UK Regulation (retained EU Regulation 261/2004) generally entitles you to a full refund or rebooking at no extra cost when departing from a UK or EU airport, and US DOT rules require refunds for cancelled flights on US carriers departing the USA. Contact your airline immediately and keep all receipts for costs that may be recoverable. Triwize's 24/7 support team can assist with rebooking and claims for bookings made through our platform.

Flight times vary by departure city. Boston to London takes about 6.5 hours, New York around 7 hours, Chicago around 8 hours, and West Coast cities like Los Angeles and San Diego around 10.5 hours nonstop. Return westbound flights are typically 1-1.5 hours longer due to headwinds.
