Claim compensation for a delayed or cancelled flight
You have the right to claim compensation for your delayed, cancelled or overbooked flight.
According to European Regulation EU261, if your flight was delayed,
cancelled or if you were denied boarding, you could be entitled to
flight compensation up to £520 per passenger, flight refund or both in
certain situations.
The claim compensation amount depends on the distance of your flight.
When am I entitled to claim flight compensation?
Flight compensation is regulated and you must meet some criteria to be able to claim.
To be entitled to flight compensation:
- your flight must have been delayed by more than 3 hours, or,
- cancelled fewer than 14 days before departure.
In both cases, the airline must also be responsible for the delayed or cancelled flight to be able to claim flight compensation.
