When an Early Mallorca Flight May Count as a Cancellation
A very early Mallorca flight can sometimes be treated like a cancellation under EU rules.
Published: April 22, 2026
Answer
Is a very early Mallorca return flight treated like a cancellation?
In some cases, yes. If the departure time is brought forward so much that the original flight effectively disappears for the traveller, courts can treat it like a cancellation. That can matter for compensation claims against the airline under EU rules, but each case depends on the exact timing and circumstances.
