Hours of queues at airports, understaffed, canceled flights… Traveling from European airports this summer often starts with a lot of airport frustration. The consumer advice center now has an app to help you so that you don’t have to spend hours arguing with the airlines with all the hassle of flying.
Canceled flights and long queues at check-in and security checkpoints: For many Brits, spring break started in early June with a lot of airport frustration. The problems were caused by a lack of staff at the airlines and airports.
Lufthansa and Eurowings have already canceled hundreds of flights for July. The head of the air traffic control union recently warned of unprecedented chaos at German airports this summer and called on politicians to take action.
Travelers quickly find themselves in a limbo of rebooking, hotlines that are difficult to reach, and possible claims for payment
Flight Trouble Apps for Android & iOS:
Flight trouble app also helps with self-inflicted faults
With a simple query of the problem, the app also helps determine possible payment claims. Whether it’s a delay, a flight cancellation or lost luggage – you just tap it and get advice. Even those who miss a flight through their own fault can get help. Here you can possibly get back taxes and fees.
Send automatic sample letters directly to the airline
Sample letters can then be created, which can be sent directly to the relevant airline. If a month has passed without a response from the flight provider, the Flugärger app will remind you of the current status and recommend another letter to the company.
Whether or not money is transferred at the end is not in the power of the app. Each flight provider will differ on a case-by-case basis as to whether a refund will be approved. Most will plead circumstances that were not their fault. Examples of this are bad weather or strikes.
You can easily download the “Flight Trouble” app from CHIP. If you have an Android device, you can download the app from this link. All iOS device users, click here.
