In which situations are you entitled to compensation?

Not all delays are eligible. The difference lies in the cause of the delay and whether it is attributable to the airline.

You are entitled to compensation for a delayed flight in situations such as:

technical failures that could have been prevented
lack of staff or poor organisation
delays caused by the airline's operations

You are not entitled to compensation in the case of:

extreme weather conditions
air traffic restrictions
security or political situations

Other rights offered by airline companies

What assistance can you request on the spot: food, accommodation, transport, etc.

Depending on the length of the delay, the airline is required to provide you with support. This is stipulated in EC Regulation 261/2004.
You may receive:
meals and drinks proportionate to the waiting time
access to communication (phone, email)
accommodation and transport if the delay involves an overnight wait
These rights apply regardless of whether you will receive financial compensation or not.

Document your flight and keep all evidence

In order to claim compensation for a flight delay, it is very important to keep all documents. The more evidence you have, the simpler the process.
Keep:
the airline ticket and boarding pass
the booking confirmation
notifications received from the airline
receipts for additional expenses
These can make a difference in the event of an initial refusal from the airline.

Do not accept vouchers without knowing the consequences!

In many cases, companies offer vouchers instead of money. Accepting these can close the right to compensation for flight delay.
If you are not sure, it is better to check the situation before accepting any offer.

Did you miss a connection due to the delay? That is also compensated for!

If you had a connecting flight and missed the connection due to a delay, the situation is not lost. In many cases, you are entitled to compensation for the flight delay, even if the problem occurred on the first segment of the journey.

For this to apply, a few conditions must be met. The flights must be on the same booking, and the total delay at the final destination must exceed the 3-hour threshold set by European law.

In such situations, the compensation is calculated based on the total distance of the journey, not just the affected segment. This means that, for long flights, the amount can reach up to 600€ per passenger.

If you find yourself in such a case, it is worth checking exactly how the rules apply and what compensation for missed connections you can obtain.

Frequently asked questions about compensation for a delayed flight

The relevant delay is calculated at arrival at the final destination, not at departure. The moment taken into account is when the aircraft doors open. If the delay exceeds 3 hours and the fault lies with the airline, you can claim compensation for a delayed flight under EC Regulation 261/2004.

Yes. Airline passenger rights apply regardless of whether you purchased the ticket directly, through an agency or through an intermediary website. The airline operating the flight is responsible for flight delays and for paying the compensation.

It depends on how the voucher was accepted. If you explicitly waived the financial compensation, the chances decrease. If the voucher was offered without a waiver of rights, you may still be entitled to compensation for the flight delay.

Refusal is common, but it does not mean you are not right. Many claims are initially rejected, then approved after analysis or legal action. We continue the procedure on your behalf until the compensation is obtained.
