About 220,000 passengers had been expected to travel through Heathrow on Friday, according to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Flightrader24<\/a>, the live flight tracking service.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Heathrow said it had no choice but to keep the airport closed until 11.59 p.m. on Friday. \u201cWe know this will be disappointing for passengers, and we want to reassure that we are working as hard as possible to resolve the situation,\u201d an airport spokesman said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">If your travel has been affected by the closure, here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-21728680\">Should I go to the airport?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Passengers scheduled to travel in and out of Heathrow <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/HeathrowAirport\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">have been advised<\/a> not to go to the airport, and to contact their airline for further information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Friday, the police turned away passengers trying to reach Heathrow, and cars in the area were diverted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Most major airlines have updated information on their websites with details about flight disruptions and instructions for rescheduling canceled flights. You can also check their social media channels for updates.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-54ccd35c\">What are my rights?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">If your flight departs from an airport in Britain, arrives there on a British or European Union airline, or arrives in an E.U. airport on a British airline, you are covered by British law.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Airlines are legally required to provide care and assistance for delays of more than two hours for short-haul flights, more than three hours for medium-haul flights and more than four hours for long-haul flights. You can check how the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.caa.co.uk\/media\/jn3npj1h\/uk-261-annex-1.pdf\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">law applies to your flight here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Under the regulations, airlines must provide a reasonable amount of food and drink, a means of communication, accommodations for passengers delayed until the next day, and transportation to and from the accommodations or a passenger\u2019s home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe airline must provide you with these items until it is able to fly you to your destination, no matter how long the delay lasts or what has caused it,\u201d <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.caa.co.uk\/passengers-and-public\/resolving-travel-problems\/delays-and-cancellations\/delays\/#:~:text=If%20your%20flight%20is%20delayed,arrangements%20at%20the%20earliest%20opportunity.\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">the U.K Civil Aviation Authority says on its website.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-14ab78dd\">What if my airline doesn\u2019t give me proper care?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Sometimes during major disruptions like the Heathrow Airport closure, airlines find themselves understaffed, overwhelmed and unable to keep up with passenger demand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In such cases, the U.K. Civil Aviation Authority advises passengers to pay out of pocket and keep receipts to apply for reimbursement, and to ensure that costs are reasonable. Luxury hotels and alcohol will not be covered by airlines.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">More detailed guidelines on how to claim costs or submit a complaint if a reimbursement request is rejected <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.caa.co.uk\/passengers-and-public\/resolving-travel-problems\/delays-and-cancellations\/making-a-claim\/claiming-for-costs-and-compensation\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-45ee41e5\">Can I get a refund if my flight is canceled?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Usually, airlines are required to offer a refund or alternative routing if a flight is canceled, but only if the cancellation is the airline\u2019s fault.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cDisruptions caused by things like extreme weather, airport or air traffic control employee strikes or other \u2018extraordinary circumstances\u2019 are not eligible for compensation,\u201d according to the U.K Civil Aviation Authority.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Call your airline to see what options it has. British Airways, which has the most flights out of Heathrow, said it contacted its customers to offer flexible rebooking options \u2014 including with other airlines \u2014 or a full refund.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The airline is also offering all customers who booked to travel to or from Heathrow March 22 and 23 the option to rebook for free, a British Airways representative said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Two carriers based in the United States also issued guidance for passengers stranded by the disruptions at Heathrow. <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.delta.com\/us\/en\/advisories\/other-alerts\/london-heathrow-power-outage\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Delta Air Lines said<\/a> it would waive fare differences for flights rebooked on or before March 26. The airline advised passengers unable to reschedule flights within the guidelines to cancel and apply for credit at the value of the ticket, which can be used within one year of the ticket\u2019s issue date. American Airlines said it would also <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aa.com\/i18n\/travel-info\/travel-alerts.jsp\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">waive change fees.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Comprehensive travel insurance policies usually cover flight delays and cancellations, so if you have coverage, be sure to read the conditions carefully.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
