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 |
In addition to the right to compensation, passengers also benefit from the "right to care" under Regulation EC261/2004, which includes:
Meals and refreshments in proportion to the waiting time.
Two free phone calls, emails, or faxes.
Hotel accommodation and transport to the hotel (if a stay of one or more nights becomes necessary).
Reimbursement and a return flight to the first point of departure, if the delay is more than five hours.
