little confused....if Israel Aviation law is that TK must pay penalty 3000 ILS in this case, is it my right to choose cancellation of the TK ticket and for them to pay me that penalty and as for the return I will handle on my own.....or am I missing something....please put me in place
You can obviously book your own ticket on whatever airline you want.
AFAIK, the compensation is only is you actually took the flight that was delayed. If you choose to refund your ticket, you won’t get the compensation.
Knowing that you’re entitled to compensation if you take the flight can incentivize
the airline to rebook you on another airline even if it’s more expensive than your ticket, so you get to your destination at the time you were supposed to, and not be entitled to the compensation.
