At <strong>Somnium Legal<\/strong>, based in Orihuela and Orihuela Costa, we offer legal assistance to travelers who face issues such as <strong>denied boarding<\/strong>, <strong>flight cancellations<\/strong>, <strong>delays<\/strong>, <strong>class changes<\/strong>, and <strong>baggage problems<\/strong>. Our goal is to ensure that all passengers receive fair treatment and compensation according to current regulations.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Denied Boarding<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Denied boarding occurs when passengers are not allowed to board their flight, usually due to overbooking by the airline. Passengers have the right to <strong>compensation<\/strong>, as well as <strong>alternative transportation<\/strong> or a <strong>refund<\/strong> of their ticket, depending on the circumstances.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Flight Cancellation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When an airline cancels a flight, passengers are entitled to a <strong>refund<\/strong> or an <strong>alternative flight<\/strong> to their destination. Depending on the notice period given by the airline, passengers may also be entitled to financial <strong>compensation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Delays<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For <strong>long delays<\/strong>, passengers have the right to assistance from the airline, including <strong>meals<\/strong>, <strong>refreshments<\/strong>, and, if necessary, <strong>accommodation<\/strong>. If the delay extends beyond a certain time frame, passengers may also be entitled to <strong>compensation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Class Changes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If a passenger is downgraded to a lower class than the one they paid for, they are entitled to a <strong>partial refund<\/strong> of their ticket. In cases where a passenger is upgraded, the airline cannot charge any additional fees.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Baggage Issues<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Lost<\/strong>, <strong>delayed<\/strong>, or <strong>damaged baggage<\/strong> can cause significant inconvenience to passengers.
