My flight on American Airlines from Barcelona to Miami for tomororw has been delayed by 7+ hours. Worried it will get cancelled at this point. Next flights out aren't until Tuesday. What the heck am I supposed to do

What does this have to do with law?

Look up Erika Kullberg on YouTube/Tiktok/her podcast, she talks about flight delays extensively and might have some useful advice on compensation claims you can make.

I’m going to counter what A4 says.

Even though you’re in Barcelona, you need to say I THOUGHT THIS WAS AMERIKUH AND I AM ENTITLED TO COMPENSASHYION

You’re entitled to EU261 compensation. They might try to buy you off by offering miles or something else - tell them to take a hike, and that you’ll take the $$ they’re obligated to offer you.

Fun fact, based on EU law, if your flight is delayed by more than three hours and you’re traveling either to or from the EU, you are entitled up to €700 depending on delay time. A flight delayed to another day would give you the full €700. You can file a claim easily by googling online for the link “EU flight delay compensation”

Tell them to get you to a big city in Europe and fly from there. This happened to us in Barcelona too and we instead got a flight to Paris and then flew home to NYC the next day.

Glad you made it back! That's interesting. I've been to Barcelona three times and the other two times were fine. But it's a smaller city so I guess the risk is there.

I am also in BCN and my flight to jfk got pushed. I switched to the flight BA and am connecting to nyc through London. You can see if AA will put you on a BA or Iberia flight out of Madrid (either with connection or you can take train). Don’t forget that AA now owes you like 600 eur and accommodations

Yup they say that to avoid paying the 600€

Flap them wings!
