How much Plus Ultra compensation can I get for a delayed or cancelled flight?
The amount of the compensation depends on the distance of your flight:
| Distance of your flight | Compensation |
|---|---|
| Flights shorter than 1,500 km | Get £220 per passenger |
| Flight between 1,500 and 3,500 km | Get £350 per passenger |
| Flights of over 1,500 kilometres within the EU | Get £350 per passenger |

I was flying with Plus Ultra to a non-EU country. Can I still claim compensation?
Yes, it is possible to claim compensation. Plus Ultra’s headquarters are in Madrid, Spain and therefore the EU flight compensation regulation applies to it. Even if you are flying with Plus Ultra to or from Latin America, you can claim compensation for a disrupted flight.
However, as can be appreciated in the table below, the situation might be different in the event that your flight is operated by a non-EU airline.
| Type of flight | Example | Compensation |
|---|---|---|
| Flying with a British carrier | Tokyo to London with British Airways | Yes |
| Flying with a EU carrier | Amsterdam to London with KLM | Yes |
| Flying with a non-UK/non-EU carrier from the UK | London to Tokyo with Japan Airlines | Yes |
| Flying with a non-UK/non-EU carrier to the UK | Tokyo to London with Japan Airlines | No |
Extraordinary circumstances — can Plus Ultra deny me compensation?
Plus Ultra can deny compensation when the delay or the cancellation was not their fault but was rather caused by a third party or force majeure. In such situations that we call extraordinary circumstances, the airline is not obligated to pay out compensation.
Some of the most common extraordinary circumstances are:
Bad weather conditions, such as thick fog, heavy rain, or thunderstorms.
A strike, most often specifically within the aviation industry (for example, a strike of air traffic control workers at a specific airport).
However, a strike of the airline's crew is not considered an extraordinary circumstance!
Political circumstances, such as a terrorist attack or general security risk due to political unrest.
Natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions and hurricanes.
A collision between the aircraft and birds or other foreign objects.
An ill or unruly passenger.
Flight delays caused by the airport staff, such as extraordinarily long queues to security checks.
Be aware, however, that airlines may claim that extraordinary circumstances occurred even if that was not the case. Airlines tend to do this in the hope of avoiding having to pay out compensation.
Make sure that you are entitled to compensation. Check your flight now at Flight-Delayed.co.uk.
How long do I have to claim my Plus Ultra compensation and refund?
According to Spanish law, you have five years to file a compensation claim. As a result, if you are travelling with world2fly, that is the deadline for filing your claim.
