Passengers swept up in the chaos at Gatwick Airport today need to know what they're entitled to and how to get it. A 'suspicious package' at the travel hub has led to widespread disruption today. A total of 316 flights were due to take off from the airport and 318 land throughout the course of today, totaling 122,050 seats, according to aviation analytics company Cirium. Dozens of flights have been cancelled, delayed and even forced to turn back as emergency services work to resolve the issue.
