What to do if the flight from Ukraine to Spain is delayed?
First of all, it should be noted that international transportation companies care about their own reputation, and therefore solve problems such as flight delays or cancellations quickly and in favor of the client.

Most often, tourists are offered to exchange their ticket for another without any additional payments and fly out as soon as possible.
