Delaying with flight cancellations or delays can be a hassle. We know that. If your flight was taking off, or landing in the EU, you might be due compensation.
Passengers like you have rights. Going through the proper channels to exercise those rights and get what you are owed will be two of these three things: lengthy, costly, or ineffective. At TravelRefund , our goal is to make this process a painless one, and most importantly one that doesn’t cause you to lose money. In no way should you be facing a monetary loss when going through this process.
Let’s start by outlining where your rights for EU flight delay compensation originates.
A Review of Your Rights as a Passenger
The European Passenger Rights Regulation EC 261 from 2004 states that passengers are entitled to payouts ranging from €250-600. A payout will depend on a variety of factors, but two factors are chief among them:
- The length of your journey
- How long you were delayed
You become eligible for compensation in the event that your flight is delayed and you are forced to wait for more than three hours. Short distance flight delays (anything below 1500km of travel), call for EU flight delay compensation of €250. Medium distan ce flight delays (between 1500km and 3500km) can mean you are due €400 in compensation. Long distance flight delays (anything over 3500km) calls for compensation of €600 per passenger.
There is more to it than just money owed. The airline is obligated to offer you another flight to the same destination. Otherwise, they are required to refund your ticket as a form of compensation for any flight cancellations . You are also going to be entitled to necessary accommodations from the airline. This can include a meal and refreshments while you wait for the next available flight. In the event of the cancellation extending to the next day, the airline is obligated to provide further accommodations, including hotel reservations and means of transportation.
Getti ng Your Compensation For An EU Flight Delay
