Be careful and organized. Do not accept vouchers and do not sign any documents – they may automatically deprive you of the right to receive compensation.
Contact your airline representative or service agent and request an official Certificate stating the reason for the denied boarding.
If possible make a video at the airport when the representatives of the airline refusing you to board the plane. It can be a good evidence of the illegal behavior and violation of your passenger's rights.
Whether it’s missing out on a pre-paid reservation, hotel, rental car, or other unexpected costs, you may be able to recover expenses caused by your flight disruption. Collect all the checks. You will need them all in order to apply with a claim.
If the airline is not able to provide you with the certificate of denied boarding, request airport personal to make a mark with the above information directly on your ticket.
The person to whom you applied for a certificate or a note must mark his position, full name and put a signature or stamp.
