Diversion of a flight due to inclement weather conditions at the destination airport are beyond the control of the airlines. They will divert the flight and make arrangements to take you to your destination as soon as the weather clears up. This is done to ensure your safety. You will not be entitled to any refund.

When a flight is diverted due to weather, the primary focus of the airline is the safety of the aircraft and passengers, meaning the pilot will land at the nearest suitable "alternate" airport. Once on the ground, the situation can vary: if the weather at the original destination is expected to clear quickly, passengers may be required to stay on the plane to facilitate a fast departure. If the delay is significant, passengers may be allowed to disembark into the terminal. In 2026, airline policies generally state that for weather-related "extraordinary circumstances," the airline is not required to provide financial compensation, but they are often obligated to provide "duty of care" items such as refreshments or meals if the wait exceeds two hours. If the flight is cancelled at the diversion point, the airline will attempt to rebook you on the next available flight or provide ground transportation (like a bus) to the final destination. It is important to know that for overnight diversions, while not always legally mandated for weather, many major carriers will still provide hotel vouchers as a gesture of goodwill to their passengers.
