1: Stay Calm and Positive

                The first thing in this situation is that you have to stay calm and positive. Being angry on customer service staff will not solve your problem. But it can create some other problem so avoid being angry and get details on delayed flight.

2: Do’s and Don’ts

                While waiting for the flight you can prepare your plan of vacation or business meeting. Take note of the things you want to do and you do not want to do.

                Always Cary your favorite book or novel with you while traveling, in this situation of delayed flight, you can enjoy reading your favorite book or novel and time will pass easily.

4: Make sure of your made reservation

                In case if you return flight delayed and you have made a car park with some company like Meet and Greet Manchester Airport Parking they charge for extra delayed hours. Contact your parking company to get known about the charges and inform them about delay.

5: Social Media

                While waiting on Airport for you flight, you can easily spend time using your social media. Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube and many others. It really helps to spend spare time.

6: Check Connecting Flight Status immediately

                In Case if you are using connecting flights, as soon as you get known of delayed flight. You must check flight status of connected flight and plan accordingly otherwise you might suffer amount loss or waste of time more than expected.

                For Sure you must not sleep in that time when your flight is delayed or if you are waiting for the flight announcement, otherwise you can miss your flight and you will find yourself guilty of this act of sleeping.

8: Claim Compensation

Remember “asking do not hurt”, If your flight is delayed and it caused you inconvenience, you can ask your airline for compensation discount. Mostly they refund partially or offer you some premium flight package. Believe me; you would not like to miss that chance. I remember that I parked with meet and greet Manchester parking and there was delay in collecting my car on drop off and I asked them for the compensation  they offered me premium package of Manchester Airport Valet Parking and on return my car was returned to me on time after premium valet. 

9: Know your right as a Passenger

                It is your right to know about your “Passenger Rights”, if you are not aware of them read your airline policy regarding this and also the legal rights of yours as passenger.

10: Have a short trip of Airport

                It will be exiting for you. If the flight is delayed and you are new at that airport, I will recommend you to take a walk around the airport, do some shopping and have a light food if you are food lover.
