If you have missed your Kiwi flight, keep reading for some helpful tips of what to do next
Kiwi.com is a Czech online platform that allows users to book affordable flights, train tickets, and bus tickets. As of 2017, it's one of the biggest sellers of airline tickets for Europe. This may be because Kiwi.com uses a fare aggregator that searches all travel sites for all pricing, and shows its customers the best deal.
Additionally, Kiwi.com has a "Kiwi Guarantee." The guarantee promises to protect passengers from flight delays, flight cancellations, and schedule changes. In these scenarios, Kiwi.com will offer passengers an alternate flight to their destination or refund the cost of the unused tickets. If you are unable to get on a flight quickly enough and you are "stuck," Kiwi.com may cover the costs of transportation to another airport, overnight accommodations, or food and drinks for delays more than four hours.
If you have missed your Kiwi flight, keep reading on your step-by-step instructions of what to do next.
In order to benefit from the Kiwi.com Guarantee, you need to follow a few steps.

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Kiwi.com in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our What Do I Do If I Missed My Kiwi Flight? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible.
