First, head straight to your airline’s official site—don’t trust random Facebook groups crying “cancelled!”. Second, check your email inbox (including that spam folder where good news goes to die). Third, use flight tracker websites; they’re like tabloids for planes, but more reliable.
If you’re still stressed, call your airline—but brace for hold music that sounds like a dying harmonica. Or better yet, chat with a bot; they’re terrible at jokes but great at facts.
What If It’s Actually Cancelled?
Don’t panic—you have rights, and no, I don’t mean the right to scream into a pillow (though that helps). Under UK law, airlines must offer you a full refund or rebook you on the next available flight. They also owe you snacks and maybe a hotel if you’re stranded overnight—so you can live like a king on their dime.

If you booked a package holiday, your tour operator is basically your superhero. They’ll sort everything, from transfers to a new sun lounger. Just keep your booking reference handy—it’s more precious than your passport photo (and that’s saying something).
