Disruption

Nov 28, 2025

Travel plans can sometimes be affected by events outside your control, including flight delays, cancellations, missed connections, severe weather, baggage problems and operational disruptions.

Persia Travel provides assistance to customers affected by travel disruptions and can help you understand the options available under the applicable airline, supplier or travel service conditions.

Flight Delays

If your flight is delayed, the assistance available will depend on the airline, destination, length of delay, fare conditions and applicable laws.

Depending on the circumstances, available options may include:

  • Rebooking assistance
  • Alternative flight options
  • Meal or refreshment support where provided by the airline
  • Accommodation where applicable
  • Transport assistance where applicable
  • Refund options where permitted

Eligibility for compensation or reimbursement is determined by the relevant airline, supplier rules and applicable consumer or aviation laws.

Flight Cancellations

If an airline cancels your flight, Persia Travel can assist you with the options made available by the carrier.

Depending on the booking conditions, these options may include:

  • Rebooking on an alternative flight
  • Travel credit
  • Alternative travel arrangements
  • Refund of an eligible unused booking

The final options available depend on the airline and applicable fare conditions.

Missed Connections

If a delay or cancellation causes you to miss a connecting service, contact Persia Travel or the operating airline as soon as possible.

Possible assistance may include:

  • Rebooking to the next available connection
  • Alternative routing
  • Accommodation where applicable
  • Advice regarding eligible additional expenses

Whether the connecting flight is protected will depend on whether the flights were issued as part of the same itinerary or under separate bookings.

Lost, Delayed or Damaged Baggage

Baggage handling is generally the responsibility of the operating airline.

If your baggage is lost, delayed or damaged, report the issue directly to the airline at the airport as soon as possible and obtain a baggage reference or claim number.

Persia Travel may assist you with general guidance relating to:

  • Baggage tracking procedures
  • Airline claim requirements
  • Supporting documents
  • Follow up information where available

Weather Related Disruptions

Severe weather may affect flights, accommodation, tours, transfers and other travel services.

Where a supplier changes or cancels a service because of weather conditions, available remedies depend on the supplier rules and applicable booking conditions.

Persia Travel can assist with reviewing available rebooking, credit or refund options.

Airport and Airline Industrial Action

Strikes and other industrial action may result in flight delays, cancellations or reduced airport services.

If your booking is affected, we can assist you in checking alternative arrangements and the options provided by the relevant airline or travel supplier.

Travel Interruptions

If your journey is interrupted after travel has commenced, contact us as soon as reasonably possible.

Depending on the circumstances, we may assist with:

  • Alternative flights
  • Changes to accommodation
  • Transfer changes
  • Tour amendments
  • Supplier refund requests

Additional costs may apply where changes are not covered by the supplier or your travel insurance.

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance may provide additional protection for certain disruptions, depending on the policy purchased.

Coverage may include eligible expenses associated with:

  • Trip cancellation
  • Travel delays
  • Missed connections
  • Medical emergencies
  • Lost or delayed baggage
  • Trip interruption

Coverage, exclusions, limits and claim requirements depend entirely on the insurance policy selected.
