Even the most carefully prepared passengers can be caught out once in a while and unfortunately miss their flight, especially with the mayhem that has been well-documented at many airport security gates. If you find yourself on the wrong side of the departure gate at East Midlands Airport, your rights depend on why you arrived late.
As reported by Derbyshire Live, the first step you should take after missing a flight is to contact the relevant airline, either in person at the airport or by phone. Staff will be able to talk you through your options and give you information about how to catch the next available plane.
It is always best to inform the airline of issues as early as possible. But if, for whatever reason, you end up missing your plane on the day, there are still options available.
