Delays and cancellations can happen when you're travelling by train or plane in Austria - especially during strikes. AdvertisementWhat happens if my train is delayed or cancelled? In general, if you are affected by train delays or cancellations you have rights in Austria. Additionally, the EU rights apply only if you have not already received benefits (including compensation, re-routing, and assistance from the airline) for this journey under the law of a non-EU country. In general, your rights and compensation will depend on the duration of the delay and the distance of the flight.
