    Change your password on a different machine to be safe and set up two step verification

    Been through this a few years ago. Your hotmail account is gone.

    Contact the airline and ask them to resend the email to a different address.

    Pretty stupid service if email is gone forever, surely someone needs to set up a secure email service where you use ID to set it up, and if it's hacked you can confirm your identity and recover it.
