Do I have to pay for the plane to land at other airports because of the weather?

Legal analysis: According to China's Civil Aviation Law, domestic passenger transport conditions and other laws and regulations, airlines will not compensate for flight delays and cancellations caused by force majeure factors such as weather. After the flight takes off, if the flight is alternate or cancelled due to force majeure such as weather, the airline will make up the shift, sign or transfer to other means of transportation to help the passengers complete the follow-up trip. If the passenger requests to stop traveling or other factors can't make up the shift or sign the transfer, the unpaid part will generally be returned to the passenger according to the freight rate. In this case, there is no mandatory compensation requirement in laws and regulations.
