The chaos at the airports continues. Flights are postponed and canceled due to lack of manpower. This is a global phenomenon, all airports have trolls and the question is whether you deserve compensation? It depends on a number of factors, but in principle you deserve compensation from the airline, the question of whether there is compensation for damage caused due to cancellation of vacation (expansion here and here is detailed information on the scope of compensation).
And what will happen next – there will probably be difficult months. This is also the case with the airlines themselves, when the return to normal will be only in a year. The situation at Europe’s major airports is complete chaos. Thousands of flights are postponed daily, and it is estimated that over 50,000 flights have been canceled and the numbers are growing daily.

What has happened in the last two months is that due to the inability to handle all the people and their luggage, some airlines prefer to take more people off the flight. Then a tender begins. Who is willing to get off the flight for $ 500? $ 1,000? $ 2,000, $ 3,000, $ 5,000, $ 10,000? Yes it happened. There were also $ 10,000 cases. Delta offered passengers $ 10,000 to get off a flight from Michigan to Minnesota.
In recent days, flights from New York to Florida have been offered $ 3,000 to $ 5,000 compensation to people who leave the flight.
These cases are mostly common on domestic flights in the US. It turns out that airlines do not need the consent of passengers to get them off the flight, but they do have to compensate them, if they do not have a fast replacement (up to two hours after the original flight date). Companies prefer due to a desire to stay with a good image, to offer people to get off the flight and not force them,
