Travellers are warned to check their travel insurance policies before booking a flight to ensure they're not left out of pocket.
Yesterday British Airways announced it was cancelling another 1,500 flights over the next two months, adding further misery to a summer that has been typified by delays and groundings for the travel industry.
Because the UK's flag carrier scrapped most of the services two weeks or more before they were due to depart, bumped passenger are only entitled to a refund - not compensation.
