When can I claim a full ticket refund for my cancelled Eindhoven Airport flight?

In the case that you were not offered any alternative flight OR you were offered one but decided not to take it, you can ask for a full monetary refund of your flight ticket.

It’s very likely that the airline will offer you a travel voucher instead of a refund. We do not recommend accepting those — you would be forced to travel with the same airline again, and if the airline goes bankrupt, you could lose your money!

The claim amount depends on the distance of your flight.

• For flights between 1,500 and 3,500 km, the compensation is £350.

• For flights of over 1,500 kilometres within the EU, the compensation is also £350.

Frequently Asked Questions – Eindhoven Airport delayed or cancelled flights

1. Delays and cancellations at Eindhoven — can the airline deny my claim?

In some situations, the airline is rightfully able to deny your claim — even if you meet all the other flight compensation criteria. Those situations are called “extraordinary circumstances” and they refer to cases where the disruption was not caused by the airline itself but by a third party or force majeure.

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.
