Refund for flight time changes

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

People book flight with advertised flight times .airline can change the flight times without offering a refund .thus they are not providing what was advertised and some airlines won’t refund monies if the flight is then cancelled

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We understand that you're concerned about the rules around refunds for flights, but we're not sure what specific action you'd like Government or Parliament to take.

In any case, the issue you raise is the responsibility of the European Union, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could start a new petition asking that when we leave the EU the Government and Parliament make a new law to require airlines operating out of UK airports to guarantee that where an airline changes departure time it must allow passengers to cancel the flight with a full refund, if that's what you'd like to happen.
