flypal
One of the worst nightmares a traveler can have is that his flight is canceled, suffers delays, lost connections or is overbooked when he is about to start his vacation. Without a doubt, it is a task that threatens to take away all the joy and calm with which you had proposed to go on a trip.
A free app on iOS and Android that can save you from trouble is FlyPal. Its great virtue is that it presents the traveler in real time the options that they can demand from the airlines if there is a problem with their flight in accordance with European regulations. That is, it informs you of the attention that airlines must offer you regarding alternative flights with seats, financial compensation or reimbursements.
Furthermore, if the airline does not provide the traveler with the appropriate help, from the application itself, the European authorities can be notified that they are in charge of fining these companies when they fail to fulfill their obligations.
