Was your flight delayed?

Right to flight delay compensation

Was your flight delayed and did you arrive at your end destination with a delay of three hours or more? Then, according to Regulation 261/2004 and The Air Passenger Rights and Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 you may be entitled to a flight delay refund up to €600 per person.

When are you entitled to flight delay compensation?

You are only entitled to compensation if the flight delay falls under the EU Regulation 261/2004 or The Air Passenger Rights and Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019. To be entitled to compensation, your delayed flight must meet the following flight delay rules:

• Flight departed from an EU country;
• Or the flight departed from outside the EU to a country within the EU with a European airline;
• Or depart from an airport in the United Kingdom and the flight was operated by an UK airline;
• And the flight arrived at the end destination with a delay of three hours or more.

Flight delays due to extraordinary circumstances

There are situations when affected passengers are not entitled to compensation for delayed flights. This is the case when the airline is not responsible for the flight delays due to extraordinary circumstances. Examples of these include bad weather conditions, air traffic control strikes and acts of terrorism.

How much compensation are you entitled to for a delayed flight?

When your delayed flight falls under Regulation 261/2004 or The Air Passenger Rights and Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, the amount of compensation is based on the distance of your flight.

• €250 compensation for a delayed flight up to 1500 km
• €400 compensation for a delayed flight between 1500 and 3500 km
• €600 compensation for a delayed flight exceeding 3500 km

When the distance of your flight is 3500 km or more and you arrive with a delay between three or four hours, you are entitled to 50% of the compensation amount.

* The route with which you flew and the airline that performed the airline are key in determining if your will fall with the scope of the EC 261 regulation (and be entitled to Euro’s) or the The Air Passenger Rights and Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (and be entitled to GBP).
