In case of flight delays
How should passengers arrange their itinerary reasonably?
Let's get to know together
↓↓↓
Q: The weather in the departure and destination cities is good, why are the flights delayed due to weather conditions?
1. The aircraft should fly according to the fixed route and route, and if there is a thunderstorm in any place on the route, it will lead to flight delays.
2. Flights may be affected by preceding flights. Unlike ground transportation, civil aviation flights are not operated in a simple point-to-point round-trip transportation, but continuous multi-point transportation. Multiple flights are usually performed by a single aircraft, so if the first leg is delayed, the later leg will also be affected.
Q: Why can some flights take off and some can't take off for flights with the same destination?
There are a number of factors that need to be taken into account when a flight can take off, including but not limited to:
1. Differences in aircraft types: Different aircraft types have different take-off and landing standards and safety standards.
2. Airline safety standards: Even if it is the same aircraft type, different airlines may formulate different specific safety standards.
3. Captain's judgment: The captain will make decisions based on the current meteorological conditions and trends.
4. Different routes for flight execution: airports usually have multiple routes to choose from, different airlines apply for different routes, and some routes may be temporarily closed or restricted by the air traffic control department due to weather conditions, air traffic congestion, air traffic control, etc., so as to ensure the safety and smoothness of flights. Some routes may be unrestricted and can continue to be used normally.
Q: The weather has improved and flights have been delayed due to "flow control"?
Thunderstorms may lead to a large backlog of flights, and due to airspace capacity limitations, the air traffic control department will carry out flow control to ensure that flights fly safely and orderly within the limited en-route space.
Q: How can I tell if my flight is delayed in advance?
1. Pay attention to the official website of the airline or the APP of the air travel system, and now many flight information software have launched the flight warning function, which can analyze the flights that may be delayed 6 hours to 8 hours before the flight takes off.
2. There are generally three factors to judge whether the flight is abnormal: flight, route and airport. From the flight side, you can check whether the flight that precedes the flight departed on time. If the departure of the previous flight is delayed, the possibility of the current flight being delayed increases. If the previous flight has arrived, the current flight will depend on the departure status of the airport.
3. From the point of view of the route, the flow conditions of the specific waypoints can predict whether the flight is on time, and the red color generally represents the bad weather. The likelihood of flight delays increases if there are already thunderstorms, turbulence, and reduced capacity in the warning area along the route.
4. From the perspective of airports, the flow of departure and destination airports, the speed of entry and exit, weather, visibility, etc. will also affect the punctuality of flights. As mentioned above, the weather conditions at the departure airport are good, but there may still be no landing conditions for flights due to traffic, weather, visibility, etc. at the destination airport.
Boarding Guide
1. In case of bad weather before travel, passengers must check and confirm the latest information of their flights through the customer service of the airline, the customer service of the ticketing platform, the official website of Sanya Airport and other channels. In case of flight irregularity, please check with the airport staff or the customer service of the corresponding airline in time to confirm whether there is any current arrangement and subsequent flights. In order to avoid delaying the trip, passengers are advised to adjust their travel time and mode of transportation reasonably.
2. In the event of flight irregularity due to various reasons, information such as boarding gate and boarding time may be temporarily adjusted. Therefore, passengers need to pay more attention to the flight display at the airport, listen to the airport announcement, and carefully check the information such as the boarding gate and boarding time.
3. In case of flight delay or cancellation, please adopt legal ways to protect your rights. If you need to apply for a ticket refund or change, you can do it through the airline's customer service or official website. If you receive a call or message such as "flight delay" or "ticket change", please be sure to verify it through the official phone number or software of the airline or the ticketing website.
4. In view of the fact that weather factors are one of the main reasons for flight delays, which is not unilaterally controllable by the airport, it is hoped that the majority of delayed passengers should also remain patient and rational when waiting at the airport, follow the arrangements and guidance of the airport staff, avoid affecting the normal operation of other passengers and the airport due to personal emotions, understand and respect the work and efforts of the airport and airlines, and jointly maintain a good travel order and atmosphere.
