The amount of compensation you are entitled to depends on the distance of your flight and the length of the delay. The compensation amount is fixed by the European Union and is the same for all airlines.
| Flight Distance | Length of Delay | Compensation Amount |
|---|---|---|
| < 1,500 km | > 3 Hours | €250 |
| 1,500 – 3,500 km | > 3 Hours | €400 |
| > 3,500 km | 3-4 Hours | €300 |
| > 3,500 km | > 4 Hours | €600 |
Apart from compensation, passengers are also entitled to ‘right to care’ provisions under EC261/2004. These include:
Meals and refreshments – provided free of charge, in a reasonable relation to the waiting time.
Hotel accommodation – when an overnight stay of one or more nights becomes necessary (for example, in cases of cancellations or long delays).
Transport between the airport and the place of accommodation – where hotel accommodation is provided
Means of communication – two free telephone calls, emails, faxes, or messages.
Special assistance for vulnerable passengers – including persons with reduced mobility, unaccompanied minors, or passengers requiring special care.
