Edelweiss Air Flight Cancellations: When are they Liable?
When Edelweiss Air can escape liability: Edelweiss Air claims if a flight was cancelled due to events outside of its control; for example bad weather, or issues at the airport. Such events are typically called extraordinary circumstances and in such cases, you are not entitled to a Edelweiss Air missed flight refund.
All airlines will generally try to book you on the next available flight at no additional charge, in the case of cancelled flights. You may agree to the proposed flight or request another replacement flight, or demand reimbursement if you are not happy with any of the options proposed.
Note: If your rebooked scheduled departure arrives at a similar time to your original departure time, you're not entitled compensation. The law is fair and allows airlines not to pay compensation if you can reach your destination with minimum inconvenience. In most cases, passengers who have a cancelled flight will have valid claims for a Edelweiss Air flight compensation.
An airport employees’ strike is beyond anyone's control. Learn more about cancellation compensation.
When Edelweiss Air cannot escape liability: When Edelweiss Air cancel flights, EU 261 Regulation on air passenger rights are clear: You must be put on an alternative flight or provided with a full flight refund.
Also, if you were notified about the flight cancellation less than 14 days before your date of departure, you may be able to receive up to €600 per person in compensation. Additionally, you may receive Edelweiss Air flight delay compensation if you arrived 3+ hours later than the scheduled arrival time of your initial flight.

Edelweiss Air Flight Refund policy
A flight compensation and a refund are two different things. Regulations allow you to receive both: a cancellation refund and compensation.
In case of a cancellation, an airline will try to re-book you on the similar flight, but if that becomes impossible, a cancellation refund will be a full cash refund. Generally, your claim would succeed, providing there were no extraordinary circumstances beyond airline control.
If Edelweiss Air cancels your flight to extraordinary circumstances (such as Covid travel restrictions or a serious illness) and you were offered no replacement flight, you can obtain a ticket refund in full, since your flights booked were not available.
Types of ticket refunds: A full refund must be in cash or credit. Vouchers are allowed only if you specifically agree to it. We do not recommend accepting vouchers due to short expiry dates and potential restrictions on redemption.
Note: If Edelweiss Air offers a replacement flight with approximately the same arrival time and you decide not to take it, there is a possibility of you losing the right to get both compensation and a ticket refund.
Rule of thumb: you can generally reject alternative flights and receive a refund in full, if a new replacement flight arrives 3+ hours later from your initial scheduled arrival time.

According to EC 261, if your flight arrives later than 3 hours at your final destination, you may be eligible to file a Edelweiss Air delayed flight compensation claim form to receive up to €600 as a flight refund.
Exclusions: Edelweiss Air delayed flight compensation will not be enforceable in case of extraordinary circumstances.

Flight was cancelled and another flight wasn’t given to us until we arrived in Zurich, to which we had to book a hotel for the night and catch another connecting flight the next afternoon
The night before my flight, 12/12/22, I was notified flight WK67 departing from Male to Zurich on 13/12/22 was cancelled and I would be rebooked and notified as soon as possible. The next morning, I did not receive any notification from Swiss nor Edelweiss concerning the cancelled flight and any rebooking. I made my way to the airport at 08:00, three hours before the departure time of my cancelled flight and had to speak to several representatives before I was informed of my new itinerary. The rebooking had me waiting at Male airport until 20:25. From Male, I was to fly to AUH. There, I had a four hour layover, then I was to fly to LHR where I had another two hour layover. The third and final leg had me arriving at EWR at 12:40 on 14/12/22. In total, including my wait at the airport, without any provisions of food/water/housing my return trip would've taken me almost 40 hours without any time for rest/sleep! This option was not feasible for me, as my body can not travel 40 hours without rest/sleep. I found a more healthy and reasonable flight option from Male to Doha and then Doha to JFK. The representative would not accommodate this. At this point, I made the decision my health and comfort was more important and requested a refund of my unused flight ticket and went ahead and booked the more reasonable flight home, at my own expense.
Same as claim #57953, but this time I'm submitting a cliam for my fiancés ticket. We had to sleep in Zürich overnight (airline provided hotel), then got a flight to Austria and then norway arriving over 24+ hours later than expected
