If your SunExpress flight is canceled due to bad weather or other reasons, the airline usually offers you the following options:
• Alternative flight options: SunExpress will offer you alternative flight options to reach your original destination. This can be a rebooking to another available flight that will take you to your desired destination.
• Land transportation: If there are no other flights to your destination or flight connections are unreasonable, SunExpress will offer you the option of reaching your destination by land. This may involve traveling to your destination by bus or train.
• Ticket price refund: If neither alternative flights nor land transportation are acceptable to you, or if you decide not to travel, you have the right to request a full refund of the ticket price from SunExpress.
The exact details and conditions may vary depending on the circumstances and applicable regulations. It is important to contact SunExpress directly to discuss the available options and communicate your preferences. For more information on your rights as a passenger in the event of a flight cancellation, you can usually visit the SunExpress website or the airline's "Passenger Rights" page.
