Can I get a refund if my flight is delayed due to weather conditions?

The law does not provide for this, but the legal relationship established between passengers and airlines is an air passenger transport contract. Flight delays are considered a breach of contract by the airline. Delays due to weather conditions may be excused by the airline. If the delay is caused by weather, which is a force majeure factor, then all you can do is wait for the departure notice, or ask the airline to assist in changing the flight. Flight delay refers to the situation where the flight landing time (the flight's actual arrival block time) is delayed by more than 15 minutes than the planned landing time (the time on the flight schedule) or the flight is cancelled.
