Glasgow Airport cancelled flights: How to check if you're affected and what to do

Holidaymakers around the UK are being urged to arrive in plenty of time to airports as delays and long queues are being reported.

Airlines such as easyJet, British Airways and TUI have had to reschedule and cancel some flights due to a shortage of staff whilst at the same time, airports are seeing a surge of customers following the pandemic.

Glasgow Airport have been experiencing long queues as we start to hit peak holiday season for the bank holiday to celebrate The Queen's Platinum Jubilee. The airport has told customers to 'arrive not too early, not too late' and asked them to have patience, adding on social media: "Our people are working very hard to keep passengers moving, don’t panic."

As airlines warn of flight changes, it has left many holidaymakers nervous of last minute cancellations.

If your flight is cancelled or changed, your airline or travel provider should inform you via email or text on the number given at the time of booking.

On Thursday, June 2, the 9.10am easyJet flight EZY6414 to London Gatwick was cancelled and Glasgow Airport stated on their website that customers should get in touch with the airline.

What to do if your flight is cancelled

If your flight is cancelled, you are entitled for a full refund or a replacement flight to get you to your destination.

Citizen Advice also add: "If you’re part-way through a journey and you don’t want a replacement flight, you also have a right to a flight back to the airport you originally departed from.

"Ask for a refund or replacement at the airport if you can. If not, you can claim from the airline later.

"You also have a legal right to:

  • Help with costs - If the cancellation delays you two or more hours.
  • Compensation - If you’d be delayed two or more hours by the replacement flight offered and you were given less than two weeks' notice."
