What Do I Do If I Missed My Kiwi Flight?

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.
