Can I claim if the airline cancels one day before departure?

A one-day notice can make EU or UK cancellation-compensation rules relevant, but substitute-flight timing and possible exemptions still matter. Refund and rerouting choices should be reviewed separately.

What to check

Start with the airline’s notice, the original schedule, and when you actually reached your final destination. A departure delay and an arrival delay can lead to different answers.

What to do next

Ask the operating airline for its written reason. The rule checker can point you to the conditions worth reviewing.
