Is your American Airlines flight cancelled?

Did American Airlines cancel your flight?

Does your flight fall under Regulation 261/2004  and was it cancelled? If so, you may be entitled to compensation for loss of time. This compensation can amount to up to €600 per person. We will be happy to tell you more about what your rights are and whether you are entitled to compensation.

If your flight with American Airlines is cancelled, when are you entitled to compensation?

Your right to compensation for a cancelled flight depends on when you were notified of the cancellation:

• If you were informed more than 2 weeks in advance, you are not entitled to compensation
• If you were informed between 14 and 7 days before departure and you arrived more than 4 hours later, you are entitled to compensation
• If you were informed 7 days or less before departure and you arrived more than 2 hours later, you are entitled to compensation

Note that you are only entitled to compensation if you were flying from an EU country, or if you were flying from outside of the EU to an EU country with a European airline.

American Airlines should offer you a replacement flight

If your flight is cancelled, American Airlines must offer you a replacement flight. The above compensation schedule applies if you accept the alternative flight and then arrive earlier or later. You will then be compensated for the time difference.

Even if you were informed by American Airlines less than 2 weeks before the scheduled departure and you refuse the alternative flight, you are entitled to compensation. In addition, you must get a refund of your ticket costs.

How much will American Airlines be required to compensate you?

The amount of compensation is determined by the distance of your flight. This is divided in destinations within the EU and outside of the EU. According to Regulation 261/2004 , you are entitled to the following compensation:

Within the EU:

• €250 compensation for a cancelled flight up to 1500 km
• €400 compensation for a cancelled flight between 1500 and 3500 km

For flight destinations outside the EU you are entitled to:

• €250 compensation for a cancelled flight up to 1500 km
