In the US, airline-canceled or "significantly delayed" flights (as opposed to passenger-canceled) are entitled to a full refund. The airline will not tend to tell you this, and they'll resist quite a bit, but you're legally entitled to one, even on a non-refundable ticket.

UK seems to be the same: https://www.caa.co.uk/passengers/resolving-travel-problems/d...

> If your cancelled is covered by UK law, your airline must let you choose between two options:

> 1. Receive a refund

> 2. Choose an alternative flight
