Frequently Asked Questions
How much compensation can I get for a delayed flight?▼
Under EU Regulation 261/2004, you can claim €250 for short flights (under 1,500km), €400 for medium flights (1,500–3,500km), and €600 for long flights (over 3,500km). The delay must be 3 hours or more at the final destination.
Which flights are covered by EU261?▼
EU261 covers: (1) all flights departing from an EU/EEA/UK airport regardless of airline, and (2) flights arriving at an EU/EEA/UK airport operated by an EU/EEA/UK airline.
Can the airline refuse to pay compensation?▼
Airlines can only refuse in cases of 'extraordinary circumstances' — events beyond their control such as severe weather, political instability, or air traffic control strikes. Technical faults are NOT extraordinary circumstances (confirmed by European Court of Justice).
How long do I have to claim flight delay compensation?▼
The time limit varies by country: UK (6 years), Germany (3 years), France (5 years), Ireland (6 years), Spain (5 years). Always claim as soon as possible for best results.
