Normally No. Flights getting canceled and delayed is just something that you risk while flying. I've never heard of getting discounts when a flight gets canceled, and I've been flying for a long time.
Sometimes they might help you get a discount on a hotel if you need somewhere to stay or give you a SMALL discount on a future plane ticket. Normally the discount will be so small that it won't help.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
